Chew Jetty was my home from age five to sixteen — a place where childhood unfolded with the rhythm of the tides and the scent of the sea. After school, I'd rush home to drop a fishing line through the kitchen floorboards, sell bubur cha-cha with neighbours, play stones and jump rubber strings with childhood friends, or sneak a fish or two from passing fishermen’s baskets. Each plank of that wooden platform holds a memory, a laugh, a lesson.


The dragon boat that now stands at the bridge is more than a symbol — it represents the spirit of Chew Jetty. I remember leaping onto fishing boats with excitement, cheering for our uncles as they raced at the Dragon Boat Festival at Gurney Drive. We shouted "jia you! jia you!" with all our might as they braved the sea, bound together by strength and community.


This painting captures more than just a dragon boat — it holds the essence of family, shared history, and the bittersweet passage of time. Some relatives have grown up, moved on, drifted apart. Yet I believe that through love, acceptance, and forgiveness, the spirit of unity can always bring us home.

Note to interested buyers:

The artworks presented here are original, one-of-a-kind creations by Dr. Grace Chew—each conceived, executed, and completed as a singular work. There are no reproductions, no editions, and no repetitions.


Every painting carries its own visual language, emotional depth, and narrative intent. Created through disciplined technique and thoughtful exploration, these works are designed to hold presence, enrich space, and continue revealing themselves over time. They are not decorative pieces made to follow trends; they are artworks created with purpose and conviction.


For collectors, this is an opportunity to acquire:

  • Authentic, original artworks

  • Distinct styles and themes, each with its own character

  • Works that bridge tradition and contemporary expression

  • Pieces suitable for long-term collection and appreciation

If a work resonates with you, it is worth serious consideration. Original artworks of this nature are created once—and once acquired, they become part of a private collection, no longer available to the public.


We invite you to view each piece closely, consider how it speaks to you, and secure the artwork while it is available.


This is not simply a purchase.
It is an acquisition of artistic intent, craftsmanship, and lasting value.
