Afterwards, when she’d graduated from college with a degree in architecture, she found out that her pastime of “doodling and coloring,” as she describes it, held much more significance for her than doing the job in architectural style and design. “I realized I could do one thing a lot more significant by expressing my views and feelings and the stories about me as a result of artwork,” she states. “I experienced this instinct that I may go after this path, albeit [without] official training in this field.” Having ongoing on this route, Ang now illustrates for editorials such as the Guardian and Firewords Magazine, broaching topics in the spheres of sociopolitical issues and fiction.

And, as coloring with crayons was my very first childhood enjoy, I love discovering palettes and moods for stories.”
