LuxArtAsia provides regular updates for readers seeking an insider’s perspective on the Asian art scene and the luxury industry in Asia. The blog is a mix of original content, as well as links to my stories published in various international publications.
Having worked full time for a financial newswire for 11 years, I made the switch to freelance writing shortly after I arrived in Asia in 2001 and have been writing on a very regular basis for the International Herald Tribune out of Singapore since 2006.

Over the last 10 years, I have written about Asian art for a wide array of news outlets, including Newsweek (to which I contributed for eight years), ARTnews, Readers Digest Asia, the South China Morning Post and Prestige, amongst others.

In 2009, I appeared in several episodes of ChannelNews Asia series on Southeast Asian art, commenting on contemporary art developments in the region.

I started LuxArtAsia in March 2010 and it was selected as one of the finalists for the 2010 Most Insightful Blog category by omy.sg.

This year, I curated my first art exhibition, "Buy Bye," looking at how Asian artists perceive the mass-consumption of luxury goods in the region and its impact on society.

Most recently I joined the team of ARTINFO as their Editor in Chief for Asia and Global Editor in Chief for Lifestyle. You can now find all my art stories on sea.blouinartinfo.com

For those interested in a different kind of art form, LuxArtAsia also has a baby sister: CoutureNotebook.com.
