Brushstrokes of Life presents a collection of Chinese ink and brush paintings by artist Tina Tom. Focusing on flower-and-bird subjects, the works invite viewers into a world where every brushstroke conveys a sense of emotion and purpose. It highlights Tom’s profound connection to the natural world, bringing to life the intricate details and vibrant colours that define her unique style. Tom began her artistic journey in 2017 by attending watercolour painting classes at the Richmond Cultural Centre. She has since become a council member of the Chinese Artists Association of Richmond, who helps facilitate the classes where her passion for painting first blossomed.
