Hi, I'm Jin. I am new to Melbourne, moving here from New Zealand with my partner and our rescue dog in October 2023. I paint out of my home studio inspired by this beautiful new environment around me.
In medical school, when I showed my interest in becoming an ophthalmologist, my consultant, who was on the selection committee, asked what my hobbies were. I replied ' going to the gym' because that is (and still is) one of my hobbies. He told me that the gym was not a hobby and implied that I was too boring to be selected. .. So ... I lied and added that I paint...
Now, 15 years later, I am a GP who can truly say that painting is one my hobbies (along with going to the gym!). Whether I'm any less boring? ... I'm not sure...
Painting has become my happy place and I hope you enjoy some of what I have created.
