"I read lots of spiritual and religious books, and I believe everyone has a spirit guide. I believe my spirit guides are there to protect me, like if I meet with trouble. Likewise, when I am stumped for ideas, I turn to them for help, like you would with a teacher. The answer comes to me in an image, like when I close my eyes before sleeping, the message will come to me in an image, almost like a movie. This is where a lot of my ideas come from,” she says.
“The creation is like a meditative process to me. I start with a big idea, and as I progress with the artwork, the ideas start to take shape and the details come to me," says Cheong about her intuitive approach to painting.She also finds solace in her daily routines, which she considers meditative. Her husband works abroad and she raises their two young daughters here.
