Flora Dreams of a Desert Oasis

James Ong

Born in the East, Raised in the West, James Ong was a quiet, curious, and observant child who liked to read and think. As an ex-engineer, James attended the Academy of Art College (MFA Product Design). He has created marble toys, construction sets, sculptural blocks, mobiles, and paper sculptures. Art school was an eye-opening and mind expanding experience.
James Is interested in the creative process. Like a child at play, he creates abstract paintings by experimenting with paint on surfaces. He drips, drops, scraps, brushes, prints paint onto surfaces searching for thought-provoking, memorable stories. Painting is his meditation. He is drawn towards Eastern thinking and aesthetics, especially Zen Buddhism and Japanese art and design because they free his imagination to wander and play without constraint.
