✨ A Memorable Experience at the 53rd ARTDO International Conference 2026 ✨
I was truly honoured and grateful to have the opportunity to be part of the 53rd ARTDO International Conference, held from 6–8 September 2026 at Hilton Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. 🌺☕🎨
It was a wonderful experience to showcase my coffee paintings featuring Sabah themes, together with my handmade Sabah fridge magnets. I was especially happy to provide custom name personalization on the spot, making each magnet a truly unique keepsake for the attendees! 🏷️✨
Conducted a live coffee painting demonstration, sharing how coffee can be transformed into beautiful artwork. ☕🖌️
I was incredibly honoured to have my artwork visited by the Tourism Minister of Sabah—and I am absolutely thrilled to share that the Ministry of Tourism purchased 3 of my Coffee Painting Artworks of Sabah! 🏛️🎨
It was also a true privilege to meet Tan Sri Emeritus Professor Datuk Dr. Augustine Ong Soon Hock, affectionately known as the “Father of Malaysian Palm Oil,” and to present him with one of my canvas palm oil bags as a special gift. 👜🌱 It was truly a memorable moment. 🙏🤝
One of the highlights was being interviewed by Breeze Magazine, giving me the opportunity to share more about my passion for coffee painting and art. 📖✨
The conference ended on a beautiful note with a tour to Kundasang, where we enjoyed Sabah's breathtaking scenery and natural beauty. 🏔️🌿
A meaningful journey filled with art, friendship, inspiration, and unforgettable memories in Sabah. Thank you to everyone who dropped by, supported my art, and made this experience a massive milestone for Pinky Art Room! ❤️
