Let’s make it grand with my first solo exhibition on 2022- Bloom Like flowers, presented by Maroondah City Council at Maroondah Federation Estate Gallery, professionally curated by the Curatorial team of Maroondah Federation Estate Gallery.

Arts in Maroondah Address: 32 Greenwood Ave Ringwood VIC 3134, Melbourne, Australia Date and Time: 7 February - 8 April 2022. Gallery open hours: 9 am to 5 pm Opening night: Thursday 10th February 6-7.30pm {Open to Public, Drinks and snacks provided. Everyone's welcome! Free entry.} -Below article quote from the original post on Maroondah City Council’s official website - Hsin Lin’s new exhibition and series Bloom Like Flowers explores the process of blooming and our connection to nature. The exhibition features meticulously detailed acrylic paintings and prints that celebrate native Australian flora and wildlife and highlight the ecologies and habitats and that support and connect them. Hsin Lin’s professional background in fashion design informs her skill and ability to capture the organic textural details of these subjects. Through sensitive observation and illustration every petal, facet, or filament is rendered on canvas. Actively contrasting the detail of her slowly executed paintings of botanical subjects, other works in the exhibition employ a more spontaneous and accelerated approach, with more abstracted outcomes. Hsin Lin is a local artist affiliated with the Victorian Artists Society who has exhibited regularly at galleries throughout Melbourne since 2017. Hope you enjoy! Stay safe wherever you are & happy collecting. Warm Regards, Artist, HSIN LIN

A late new year greeting to you all ! May our 2022 be an amazing year ! :) Featured artwork in these studio photos , also one of my favourites.

It actually shines beautifully when you look at the physical painting. Sealed with clear varnish spray. Signed and ready to hang. Comes with certificate of authenticity. 91.4 x 60.8 x 3.5 cm Affirmation – Let’s not lose hope. Gerbera Daisies are strong perennial plants with a delightful flower’s message. The flowers symbolized happiness and gratefulness for the life you have been given. They are a celebration of life. The Egyptian believed that the gerbera would lessen the sorrows and stresses of everyday life in the old days. It also has a meaning of closeness to nature and devotion to the sun. Alstroemeria is a symbol of wealth, fortune and prosperity. Symbolic of powerful Yang energy, Chrysanthemums are believed to represent longevity, joy and attractant of good luck in the home. If you receive chrysanthemums from someone, it is a symbol of love. The beautiful sun-coloured yellow rose can also convey warmth, delight and affection, as well as say good luck, welcome back, and remember me. The yellow rose is the perfect flower for someone who needs a little cheering up. Visit my ArtFinder profile if you would like to collect this particular artwork. Warm Regards from Artist Hsin Lin.

    A Lovely surprised in my mail box this morning! Much appreciated VAS for featuring my story on Victorian Artists Society Members' Magazine for December 2021- our second magazine of 2021.

    Season’s greeting to everyone! Early Merry Christmas to all my new friends & old friends. Welcome back to my 2nd blog post of December 2021! ❤️ (And the last one of 2021? Maybe? 😊) Featured Artwork in the Magazine: A Life Time Story - Orchids and Roses on Wood Tray With A Weaving Basket -2021- Acrylic on Canvas, Ready to hang. Quote from original article – Hsin Lin As an artist who is obsessed with the beauty and the form of flowers, I paint every object as a self-projection. During the new Era, time slows down for every individual to focus further on the connection to mother nature and the surrounding around us. I started a special series called ‘The Lockdown Diary’ since the pandemic- a special isolation diary that I wrote with my paintbrushes. It is an extension of my ongoing Contemporary floral series, featuring native flowers we love and common flowers we know. To experience the changing of the seasons and to present moments in the new normal, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom in my surrounding during its flowering season. Most of my inspiration comes from my observation of the natural world. I use close observation to try to capture as much detail as possible. Through my paintings I see flowers as representing life, each different flower and object have their significant meaning and symbolism. Flowers represent us as humans, Vases as the body carrying our soul and physical body, protecting us as a shield in a natural order. In one of my large-scale pieces, which was completed during the lockdown, the weaving basket stands for connections- the bounding between families, friends, all the people around us. Even if we are apart, everyone is still being linked together as a whole, stronger together. Every passenger in our life, every stranger who is meant to cross our path for a reason, plays an irreplaceable role in this life-time story. You may see the work as a documentary of the special time that we came through. Our body kept us strong, alive, and healed, the heroes who keep the world moving. It is also a reminder that as the flowers are in full bloom, this is our time to be alive. Flowers always bloom in their own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our best season. Original artwork is now available on my profile if you are interested in this particular artwork. Hope you enjoy & Happy collecting ! 21 Dec 2021

    A LIFE TIME LOVE – Back from exhibition, original artwork released! Imagine a lifetime is a flower blooming. As with our individual identities, each flower is unique in appearance, blooming during different seasons and life stages.

    Featured Artwork info- A LIFE TIME LOVE – Chrysanthemums, Roses and Green Ball Dianthus (2020) Artist Acrylic on canvas. Artwork painted extend to all Side panels as photo shown. Ready to hang, D rings and wire attached at the back in gallery standard. 61 (W) x 91cm (H) x 3.5 cm (D) By HSIN LIN I present you a latest piece in my award-winning/signature series -Bloom like flowers. Affirmation: A life time may be short, but it may also be long enough for us to make it the greatest journey. When the world turns upside down, cherish the people who love you, most important of all, remember to give yourself a life time love. This project is actually planned for quite sometimes. I started this artwork around March, since then, a lot of things happened and the world seems changed completely. On the other hand, we have more time to be with ourselves, to think and to realise what is really important to us. This artwork somehow kept me grounded all this time and I happy to say I finally have it completed at the end of September. It’s been a really long journey, sunny days and rainy days. Long working hours required determination and faith to achieved. I spent almost every day studying those intricate composition and fine details. If you look close enough, each tiny petal was built up by more than 10 layers. The process wasn’t an easy task but It’s a challenge that I enjoyed, and I am proud of myself for not giving up. There’s also another reason that I’ve never mentioned why I started this series in the first place. Which I did revealed during an artist interview on August 2020. Years ago, I was ill. The mother nature, my paint brushes and canvases were the things that helped me back to my feet. Since then, I have decided - if I have the time/ life that I thought I nearly lost, I want to make good use of it to create something beautiful, to do something only I can do and to pass the positive messages and healing power to people, that intension never changed. Life goes on and I think we all agree that 2020 is a very different year. By the time I have this artwork completed, I decided to name this artwork - A Life Time Love, which is also an extension from my previous artwork – A Life Time Journey, A Life time blessing, and Have Faith in A Sunny Place. Because the world might change in all of a sudden, but love keep us grounded. This is also a reminder to myself- always take care and love yourself first, that’s what makes you stronger. I sincerely hope you enjoy this artwork from my signature series - A LIFE TIME LOVE. Spiritual meaning of the flowers- Dianthus - flower of the Gods. Green Ball Dianthus, also known as Green Trick Dianthus are a unique flower with a fuzzy ball-shaped bloom. The name comes from the Greek words “dios," meaning heavenly and “anthos," meaning flower. Dianthus is one of the oldest cultivated flower varieties. Greeks and Romans used the flowers for decor, and garlands. Till now, Dianthus is still very popular and often used in floral arrangement. Chrysanthemums symbolize deep passion and optimism. Red roses stand for true love and romance The flower of bird of paradise symbolize joyfulness and faithfulness. Leucadendron, native to Australia, are often used to convey an appreciation for simplicity in life. Simple beauty is one of the most popular meanings for this bloom. This artwork is inspired by an amazing floral arrangement that I spotted in Donvale, Melbourne, Victoria, 2020 – A unforgettable year.

Side panel painted Black Acrylic painting on gesso primed Acid free canvas “The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.” - Aung San Suu Kyi As many of you may know I don’t paint birds very often, but when I do it’s normally a self-projection. From where I live in Bayswater, there is a big field of open woodland near my studio. The grassland is always my favourite playground, especially during the lockdown. I often accompanied by varies local birds such as cockatoos, magpies, colourful rosellas, lorikeets and kookaburras during the walk. Pink Cockatoos / Major Mitchell's Cockatoo are hard to miss, with their pink colouring and distinctive red and white crest. These friendly, playful, highly social birds represent inner influence, balance, joy, abundance. I often see pink cockatoos having launch under the winter sun peacefully or fly up to the branches in flock playfully. It’s one of my favourite scenes to enjoy. I captured the magical scene with my eyes, froze the moment with my paint brushes and canvas, worked on it for quite sometimes in my studio. This artwork is also painted during the lock down in Victoria 2021. A special isolation diary that I wrote with my paint brushes. Hope you enjoy this original artwork of mine.
