There’s something deeply stirring about the dawn at the end of Chew Jetty’s bridge — a place that holds dreams, memories, and the quiet soul of a fishing village. Captured through the lens of my childhood friend, Kok Sim, this scene is more than a photograph — it is a window to the past, a mirror of shared moments. The image speaks volumes of our growing-up years — the quiet bond of friendship, the scent of the sea, and the rhythms of a fisherfolk life.
From this edge, we used to gaze across the waters to Butterworth, watching ferries glide back and forth. The echoing horn of the ferry was our village’s morning bell and evening lullaby — marking the rhythm of life from sunrise to sunset. Around us, the jetty was alive with the presence of hardworking fishermen, boats from distant lands — Korea, Myanmar, and beyond — finding temporary shelter here. Kok Sim's father was one of them, sailing his sampan out at dawn, returning with hope folded into his nets.
Though life was tough, it was full — filled with perseverance, love, and quiet sacrifice. This dawn is more than light on water. It is a tribute to that enduring spirit, to the warmth of shared memories, and to a community that shaped who we are.

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.
