What are you doing when you were 7 years old?

The young and talented Gelyn Ong has her first solo exhibition at the age of 7. “My Dreams, My Wishes” features 29 of her latest art pieces. Not just a simple exhibition, but one that embraces a good cause too as the exhibition aims to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Foundation. The funds will help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Before this, Gelyn’s works have also raised funds for several charity organisations.

The tiny Gelyn has art pieces bigger than herself. She told us that she has to stand on a chair to do the top part of her painting, and once, she stood on a chair that was placed on top of a table! When I look at her paintings, I’d imagine the big brush in her tiny hand and I believe, to be able to accomplish those brush strokes, you do not need to be strong, you need to be passionate. Her strokes are filled with energy; her colours, simply happy.
