Hersarong

Hersarong Art and stories inspired by my late trailblazing grandmother and her batik sarongs. PM for commissions & inquiries.

Hersarong was created in honour of Mok, my late grandmother, and her love, strength and resilience. Each piece of artwork is inspired by her collection of batik sarongs and abstracts elements of the quintessential Malay batik. They tell the story of Mok's life as a girl during WW2, as a young mother in a newly-independent Malaya and as a grandmother to seventeen grandchildren in modern Malaysia. S

You read that right: after seven years of running hersarong.com as my side hustle and primary creative outlet, I’m shutting it down in one week.

The website and online store will no longer be available after Nov 2. Why? Three reasons:

1. I currently have two under two who are taking up my time in the most fulfilling way. And shortly before I had my first child…

2. …I had hit a wall in terms of how I wanted hersarong to evolve. If you look at my last few reels and posts, you might see how work had stagnated. And just before my second child was born…

3. …my husband and I started .ca, which combines both of our passions for Islamic architecture and design.

With two little ones and a business to run, it’s impossible for me to also keep hersarong.com going sustainably. But here’s the good news (maybe?):

This Instagram account will still be here. I’m still incredibly obsessed with batik sarongs, line art and recycled cardboard, so I will endeavour to keep creating and sharing my work here when possible. I love the community that has come to patronize this account and I deeply appreciate the support it gave me.

Thank you to everyone who’s been shopping at hersarong.com ❤️

It feels weird (maybe wrong, even?) to be doing regular things like making art knowing that a genoc!de is happening as we speak. I can’t even think of something clever or insightful to caption this, so here we are 🤷🏽‍♀️

My FREE colouring sheet for this week is ready! It’s not on my website yet so please DM me for it. I’ll be happy to DM you back or send it via email if you prefer (might be easier to get it on your computer to print it out!).

This simple repeat pattern is a favourite of mine because it can be coloured and filled out in a multiple ways.

Swipe to see how I coloured mine.

The pattern is based on my painting “Guava Slices” from the Shifting Sands series. It’s one of my highly requested print and custom reproduction.

DM me if you’d like this colouring sheet!
