Heart In Hand Atelier is led by Caihui - an affirmation artist and “cheerleader in colour.” She creates art that reflects back the truth that we are enough, even in our messiness.

​

Through her affirmation art, Caihui weaves colours with words to remind people they are seen, supported, and never alone. Every artwork is born as a mirror for herself and becomes a reflection for others - an invitation to embrace self-love and emotional freedom.

​

Her creative journey began in 2018 with Japanese pastel art, which unexpectedly became a powerful tool for calming and resetting her nervous system. Since then, Caihui has grown into an artist, aspiring facilitator, and aspiring speaker on the mind-body connection, blending art, play, and affirmation as pathways to well-being.

​

She has exhibited in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, and her works have expanded into wearable art, workshops, and affirmation experiences. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Japanese, she welcomes people from all walks of life to explore creativity as a form of self-care.

​

At its heart, Heart In Hand Atelier is not just about art. It’s about cheering you on - to feel, to play, to create, and to remember that nothing needs fixing. You are worthy, just the way you are.
