About the Artist
Adeline Yeo, or Addy (as she is affectionately called) has spent a decade perfecting her art of perception, engaging in spaces closely associated with popular culture and public opinion. A fast-accomplishing young artist, the 34-year-old was in Public Relations for 10 years and was a key player to some of the highest profile events as well as privately hosted activities in Singapore. Addy’s art is the essence of the ebullient artist herself, an explosion of life’s flavours on a canvas. Her pieces are a celebration, a determined choice to cherish beauty and a reflection of her spirit - fearless, vibrant. Driven by passion and purpose, Addy is also a finger painter where she challenges convention by allowing her fingers to walk in sync with her craft.
