Hi, I'm Jin. I am new to Melbourne, moving here from New Zealand with my partner and our 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 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 . 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.
