About Me
My name is Helen Cheng. I am a freelance artist/writer.
Travelling is in my blood and exploring is in my mind.
I constantly seek inspirations from people around me and develop practical experiences through working and travelling.
My art/written words speak and evolve as I strive to improve and challenge myself every day.
