Address from Professor Margaret Harrison
MIRIAD, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
.

“Panni Loh, has achieved a rare balance in her work, utilising both traditional and 21st Century techniques to imbue it with a fusion of notions of spirituality linked to respect for the natural world.

She has used her own concerns and experience to trace these issues in the work of British born Chinese artists her presentation should add a unique perspective on the contribution of art production in our changing world.”

 

 

Address from Yuen Chee Ling
Director of Conservatory of Fine Arts and President of the International Women Artists Council, Penang, Malaysia

“Panni Poh Yoke Loh, is a British Chinese Artist who has the natural and creative qualities of co-ordinating people of diverse cultural backgrounds for the common goal of fostering global peace and harmony through the arts.

 We need more women artists like Panni Poh Yoke Loh who is genuinely sincere, dedicated and diligent in order that women artists in their unique ways will contribute meaningfully towards a better living world for today and tomorrow.”

 


Address from Sarah Champion
Chief Executive Chinese Arts Centre for the U.K.

 “Panni is so much more than an artist; she is a curator, workshop leader, community activist. Panni's work is inextricably linked to her social commitments and it is this that makes her work so strong and engaging.”
