1. What led you to discover the Artpreneur Program?
I wanted to find a way to make my time at home as a homemaker more fulfilling and productive. With a passion for art and a desire to explore different art forms, including graphic design and branding, I discovered the artpreneur program through my friend.

3. How did you manage to strike a balance between homemaking, motherhood, and still pursue your creative dreams during the program?
It's certainly with the support of my husband and in-laws that made it possible for me to pursue this program. I must admit, it hasn't been easy, especially during my pregnancy.

4. As someone entering the creative realm without prior experience, what significant challenges have you successfully overcome?
Initially, I was skeptical about exploring a new realm and expressing my creativity. I hesitated to open up my mind and translate my thoughts into concepts. However, as I continued to practice each day, I found myself becoming more deeply engaged in the creative process. Over time, I noticed a shift in my approach that helped me gradually overcome my difficulties and concerns. This led me to create my own artworks, which have been met with heartfelt appreciation from others.

5. Describe your life before and after artpreneur program
Before joining the Artpreneur program, my life felt quite conservative and static. Despite having many good things around me, I could not get rid off the constant feeling of emptiness within. I am delighted to say that after completing the program, I now feel an overwhelming sense of fulfillment and joy. I am grateful to have acquired a valuable skill that will enable me to navigate my life with productivity and contentment.

6. Embarking on an unfamiliar artistic venture during motherhood is a bold step. How did your family react to this decision?
At first, my family had concerns about me pursuing this program and embarking on my artistic journey. They were worried that I might have a hard time balancing taking care of my little ones, our family, and even myself. Though it was a bit tough at first, over time, my family truly began to understand and show their support. This artistic endeavor holds great importance not just for me but also for my children, who eagerly observe and learn from my creative activities.

It brings me a great sense of joy and fulfillment.
