"As we look ahead, let’s not only aspire to see more thriving art careers and greater appreciation for art but also celebrate successful artists who passionately nurture the next generation of creators, shaping a better world for all."
Mr Zak Lo
CEO, FIRST SIGHT Group; Founder, LivingwithArt Singapore
"Art is a powerful tool for promoting emotional well-being, creativity, and cognitive development — not only for the practitioner, but for their family as well… I am glad Mama on Palette has taken a leading role to bring about this positive change!
Ms Fang Jiayun
Head of Corporate Sustainability, UOB Group
"I aspire to see a future for art where it will continue to be more open and inclusive, branch into new forms (preferably sustainable) and express not only aesthetic appeal but also meaningful purpose. In particular for artist-mothers, their artistic expressions have the potential to be powerful narratives and further amplify the voices of other mothers.
Ms Haslinda Putri Harun
Honorary Secretary, Harun Ghani Education Fund
"There are so many grand moving parts to becoming a mother. Mothers, like great artists, are always learning and forever adapting as everything is waiting to be beautiful in this world and next!
Alicia Altorfer-Ong, Ph.D.
Deputy General Manager, Ray of Hope
"My hope is for society to not only hold the space for artists as a nice to have, but to understand that these nurturing spaces (both proverbial and physical) are essential to our collective identity, psychological fitness and legacy of strength for future generations.
Ms Yoko Choi
Programme Manager (Creative Arts Therapy), The Red Pencil (Singapore)
"I hope for mothers to grasp every opportunity they have to create with their hands with their children. These moments of pure joy, creativity and novelty will be embedded deeply in the hearts of the mother and child, and turn into that safe haven for their future."
About Mama on Palette
Mama on Palette is Singapore’s first community for mothers who love arts. It was founded by Alice in 2018 after she became a new mother. Through her pregnancy experience, she discovered art as a tool to help her walk out of baby blues.
Recognizing the healing power of art and with the hope to raise awareness towards mothers’ mental wellness, Alice started building Mama on Palette to gather mothers who love art.
It provides all types of support to mothers who are passionate about arts, such as inspiring articles, artist features, art exhibitions, sharing sessions and workshops.
Your generous donation will help us in the production of this unique book and ensure it reaches a wider audience.
Together, we can celebrate the incredible talent and resilience of mothers, enriching the artistic landscape and inspiring future generations.
