Artist Profile
Jillian Cheong has always enjoyed drawing, but it was only in December 2016 where her journey into acrylic painting began. It was a corporate art jamming session where she was first introduced to the medium. She started by painting cats, the subject she enjoyed the most - and was surprised when friends, and then friends of friends, started to commission her to paint their pets.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst that got her to paint even more, leading to a dramatic improvement in her painting skills. More and more commission work came in, and people started to request to purchase her art pieces. This inspired her to embark on the journey to become an artist.
Jillian's artwork reflects her love of nature and animals. Most of her artwork draws inspiration from the local wildlife in Singapore where she lives and the local alley cats she encounters. Other than that, she also enjoys capturing the likeness and expressions of pets through pet portrait commissions.
