I'm Goh Siao Shan
I'm pursuing My Dream

“My Art Journey” – Goh Siao Shan, Visual Artist

My Art Journey is my first ever solo exhibition. It signifies my dream to set sail towards a truly important milestone in my artistic career. To set sail towards my lifelong passion in art has become something like coming into life for the second time.

The dream was once buried deep down inside of me, as the burden of life overtook me in all aspects. Work, personal and family commitments and other issues made me lose focus on the joy of painting at times. I feared my works would never be appreciated by others.

In recent years, with the advent of social media, I started to share my works on Facebook more frequently. Whenever I have the opportunity to paint, I would share my paintings and to my surprise, they were well received by my friends, family and the general public. The positive comments made gave me back the confidence.

After a few years of painting and participating in the local art scene, I no longer live in self-doubt. I wish to make a change for myself. Through my own sheer determination and hardwork, I have managed to accumulate enough art works to set sail for my first solo exhibition.

I have been preparing this exhibition for the past two years and in order to make it work, I intend to raise 5000 ringgit via crowdfunding to fund for the cost for venue rental, advertising and promotion materials and framing costs. Hence I hope I can gain enough funding support to achieve my dream.

The theme of my first solo exhibition centers around the fishing villages and fishing boats of Perak, where I came from. When I see the fishermen set sail, it signifies a new hope and a good beginning. I wish that too for my upcoming exhibition.

Although the wind could be against us, I will try my very best to sail across the raging storm into the right path, towards my dream destination. My journey is all set this time.

I will use crowdfunding to help fund my first solo exhibition

Advertising and promotion material        Rm1500
Framing                                                   Rm2000
