Ong Siew Kwan (Kimo)
Graduating with a BA in Psychology, Kimo Ong worked in a nursing home for persons with dementia as a programme executive before entering the MA Art Therapy Programme. As part of the training, she worked with children in after school care and individuals in hospice care where she conducted group and individual art therapy sessions. Her belief in using art as a language for communication enabled her to empathetically journey with individuals to convey emotions and thoughts through creative expressions that are otherwise difficult to express. Kimo’s personal art practice includes playing with different mediums in abstract forms, each encounter providing new insights for her to reflect upon.
