The opening reception of Marisa R Ng’s 4th solo art exhibition will showcase 30 new and 27 older works on display. The exhibition will start from 26th September – 4th October 2018. The opening reception will be on Saturday 29th September 2018.
“As a child, I was enthralled by the story, “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Today, I am a grown woman on a journey to discover my own “secret garden”, the one that is embedded deep within my heart. Strangely, I had almost forgotten it existed, buried so thick underneath the overgrown tangle of emotional despair and heartache. Yet, as I gather the courage to pull out the weeds, I begin to uncover tiny buds of life beneath the layers of debris. As I tend to my garden, it starts bursting with blooms, rich and warm; bright and beautiful. What an amazing and glorious find, the garden of my heart. It is alive and well!”
-Marisa R Ng
