何淑芝是当地的跨学科艺术家。她在早期的艺术教育中接受过中国水墨画的培训，但自2017年以来一直致力于创作当代作品。她的初爱中国水墨画，至今也继续将中国水墨画的精神融入她的当代艺术作品中。

只要她的画里有米粒，那每粒米都用中国墨笔描边技术执行，一笔绘成。每粒米都经过“按”，“行”，与“收“笔的有序过程。

淑芝的绘画题材主要探索与生活环境，移民和移植，科学与技术创新有关的主题。她的绘画都融合了西方艺术理论和中国水墨哲学。

她积极参加了多项本地和海外的团体艺术展览。她的首场个展由大华银行组织，于2020年在大华银行美术馆举行。她的稻米画受到收藏家的追捧，并获得了以下奖项：

1. 2018 UOB Painting of the Year (Singapore) Silver Award, Established Artist Category

2. 2018 Killiney Art Prize Top Achiever Award (Degree)

Seok Kee is a local interdisciplinary artist.  She was trained in Chinese ink painting in her earlier art education but has moved on to create contemporary works since 2017. Her first love is Chinese ink painting, and she continues to integrate the spirit of Chinese ink canons  in her contemporary artworks.

Where there are rice grains in her painting, each grain is painted with a single stroke, and executed with the Chinese ink brush stroke technique. Every grain goes through the orderly process of 'press', 'drag', and  'lift' brush stroke movement (‘按笔’，‘行笔’，‘收笔’).

Kee’s paintings explore subject matters that concern the living environment, immigration and transplantation, science and technology innovations.  Her interdisciplinary practices combine the western art theories and Chinese ink philosophies.

She has participated actively in group exhibitions both locally and overseas. Her first solo show, organised by UOB, was held in UOB Art Gallery in 2020. Her rice grain paintings are sought after by collectors and have won the following prizes:

1. 2018 UOB Painting of the Year (Singapore) Silver Award, Established Artist Category

2. 2018 Killiney Art Prize Top Achiever Award (Degree)
