Yau Bee Ling’s drawings tend to be a visual diary of stages of her life and things that happen around her. Family values and relationships are expressed subtly in this intimate setting. Using a warm colour palette, family life is well represented through the arrangement of subjects and furniture in living spaces. Yau Bee Ling graduated from the Malaysian Institute of Art in 1995 with a Diploma in Fine Art (Major in Painting). She was awarded Kuandu Artist in Residence, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei, Taiwan in 2016. Bee Ling’s first big break was when she was selected for the 9th Asian Art Biennale in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 1999. The recognition followed when she was selected for prestigious exhibitions such as the Singapore Sculpture Square (2000), the 2nd Fukuoka Triennial, Fukuoka Art Museum, Japan (2002) and the Soul of Asia: Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Collection exhibition in Hokkaido, Japan (2004). Her solo exhibitions Interwoven Terrains (2019), By Hands (2016), The Women (2013), Portraits Of Paradox (2008) were held at Wei-Ling Gallery, Kuala Lumpur.
