For the third year in a row, the Sarawak Heritage Society is holding a key exhibition of the artwork of a prominent local artist at the Sarawak Museum’s dedicated art gallery from 21^st May 2014.  This year, we are proud to announce a retrospective of the work of Narong Daun, charting her life journey from batik artist to freeform silk painter.  Titled Indah – The Hidden Beauty of Nature, we welcome you to see Sarawak’s nature through the unique viewpoint of one of Sarawak’s present and future art stars.
 
Narong has been painting professionally for 15 years.  Starting as a batik artist, Narong worked at Fabriko for three years before taking up her role as artist in residence at the Artrageously Ramsey Ong gallery on Main Bazaar in 2001.  Under Ramsey’s guidance, she threw away her sketch book and pencils and threw away her tjantung, opting instead for the freeform outflow of creativity that characterizes her work today.
