Hello, I am Crystal!
I am a botanical watercolour artist and flowers are my obsession. Originally born and raised in Singapore, I live near Melbourne, Australia, about 80km east in a beautiful place called the Yarra Valley, inspired by nature and my surroundings. My background as a yoga teacher brings mindfulness, presence, a sense of flow, letting go and joyfulness into my art practice.
I only discovered painting at 40 years old and quickly discovered that this practice tops everything else in life in terms of the amount of peace, joy, empowerment and dare I even say, healing to my soul.
I love painting flowers as I see them as the accents of nature. The peak of beauty in our natural landscape. They have all the colours, textures, shapes and personalities to be a subject of endless creativity and joy. They are also a symbol of feminine energy, something that allures me, stirring something primal within to make me want to consistently pay homage to its beauty.
In my watercolour style, I let every bloom, every petal speak to me, and my intuition takes over to create the marks, shapes and colour on a page. I love to paint loose, freely, and I believe I have a unique way of painting flowers in a very uncomplicated yet profound and effective way.
What My Students Say:
"FLOW-IN has helped me reconnect with painting in a much gentler way. It gave me permission to slow down, let go of pressure, and paint without constantly judging myself. Before the course I felt blocked and overwhelmed; now I feel more grounded and more willing to show up, even on difficult days."
— Caro A."When I started FLOW-IN, I couldn't stop! It felt like sitting with a friend to paint. Crystal creates art and she creates connection! I learned how to observe and interpret references, but mostly I gained the confidence to make the painting my own."
— Marie Eve D."I was nervous to spend what seemed like a lot of money when there's so much free content online, but such a well thought-out, comprehensive and cohesive series of lessons has made me really happy with my investment. Your lessons help me relax into the process rather than getting hung up on a perfect end result."
— Beth S."You are my favourite artist on IG and I am absolutely loving FLOW-IN. I've learned so much already. Your lessons are well organised and cover so much material. You hold a safe space for your students where we can explore and be okay to make mistakes."
— Pam P."I finished this entire course and I want to say THANK YOU! I feel confident mixing colours, painting from a picture or a real bouquet of flowers, and actually using up my materials. Thank you for helping me make paint a weekly (and sometimes daily) habit. I continue to feel super calm."
— Tyra B."Crystal is my favourite teacher and such an inspiration. She has a wonderful gift of breaking things down in simple ways, teaches her students to accept “mistakes”, and leaves no room for that inner critic which holds us back before we even begin."

Course Content
