“Creativity to me is like a journey seeking new ideas, to expect the unexpected and to be fascinated with the amazing results. My errors and accidents are a blessing because I know that some of my best paintings have emerged out of them. One recognizes meaningful paintings through the deep connection shared by the viewer and creativity. I am not striving for perfection nor control the creative energy in a particular direction; to me the creative stoke is a progression of my internal path.

For the last few years, my paintings represented an array of styles; a significant difference from my earlier works. My figurative works and impressionism styles gradually gave way to a new freedom of expression and interpretation. I began to paint abstract form using primary colors and my paintings began to take on a new dimension with a more bolder and freer brush strokes. The vibrancy of colors adds life and light to my work and yet I continue to “push & pull” the colors to reach deeper levels of perception. My intuitive sense of balance, color harmony, and light comes from studying great masters of the past. It has enabled me to bring these elements together to convey my sense of how the essence of the subject should be portrayed in simple lines or colors.”

Soo was born and raised in Malaysia. After high school she pursued her art education at Harrow School of Art and Kingston University in London, England. At a first glance her artwork reflects a European flair, but on a deeper level there is that Asian influence, which sometimes comes through in a form or a color.

Over the years Soo has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows in various venues. Most of her work is in private and corporate collection. Her permanent works can be viewed at Graton Gallery, Graton, Windmill Glassworks, Etc., Solvang, and Art Experience Gallery, London, England.
