Su-En Wong is a Singapore artist, born in 1973 and now living in New York City. For years, she was a recital pianist, for which she moved to the US to tour with her music. Stage fright kept her from performing, and she ended up an artist instead. Her pieces are mainly done in colored pencil on acrylic backgrounds, and occasionally in graphite on paper. Her pieces play with stereotypes, sexuality, and maturity. Su-En Wong gets her inspiration from her own personal experiences and emotions, and plays with the ideas and feelings associated with a young girl growing up into a woman. Her drawings create a sense of time through her repeated characters--each piece represents a girl or woman at a different age, while playing with whirlwind of emotions and attitudes with each one.
