Meet and Greet the Artists Behind the Brush Strokes of Chan Lim Family of Arts at SM North Edsa

It’s a totally different experience for me seeing and meeting an artist, specially when they showed you and let you experience how to brush strokes.

I am referring to Mr. Chan Lim who just celebrated his 80th birthday and also a very auspicious milestone in the Chinese culture. I was invited to Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students event at the SM North EDSA The Block Atrium just in time to the Chinese New Year Celebration. I was able to meet and greet the artists behind the fine drawings on the porcelain plates, fans, lanterns and scrolls.

The Chan Lims’ exhibits feature pieces about nature, flora and fauna, mountains, and animals. Chan Lim’s masterpieces are definitely expressed how talented and creative their family.
