CHEE YONG
I started my work as a visual artist when I took a break from piano 15 years ago. After a hiatus from piano, art (in particular, painting, drawing and perfomance) continued to allow me to express my thoughts, emotions and experiences in my life.
I love going to the Sydney Biennale, it never disappoints.
Sawtooth ARI exhibtion programs through the years have been a positive experience for me, I’ve served on the board as Vice-Chair and continue to support the organisation.
