Art Island S2E3: Anne Ngan - Painter

[@annrubino6252]

I too, am a painter of age (83) and Anne's art practice and life style are just perfect. I wish her many more years of contentment and creativity, just as she likes it. Thank you for this.

[@deboramccallum3987]

Thank you for posting these videos of amazing women who lived lifè with intention

[@4tarakirk]

Watching this video of Anne, a beautiful Elder living a mindful, art-filled life on such a beautiful island is truly inspiring. Her dedication to her craft and serene lifestyle is a reminder of the beauty that comes from living with intention and creativity. Thank you for sharing this touching video 💛

She took my heart within minutes..

The older I get, the more I appreciate silence. No TV, music, or anything in the background.....just life, trees, pets, birds, peace.

[@vanessarobinson1080]

I hear you

I have always been like this. Far from the noise and confusion of the maddening world. Love your comment-

When I was in my 20s, 30s, 40s I sewed clothing and Quilts. My eyes began to change and I couldn’t see properly to sew. This was a great loss. Unexpectedly I started to paint with oil, portraits on canvas. My eyes are fine with painting. To make art is my identity. I make art because of desire. Anyone can be an artist. All you need is desire. Thank-You for a lovely video. I’m 75 now, painting for about 20 years.

[@caroledrury1411]

Wow, I cannot tell you how this video has affected me so I thank most of all all the people listed at the end who are involved in making it and I thank the artist who is so calm and wise in telling her story. This is the kind of story that is so inspiring for us artists who are also going through the same process. I am in Vermont with a studio and garden and enjoy hearing from a kindred spirit. I sometimes feel isolated and alone but hearing this artist speak makes me feel less so

[@HornbyArts]

Thank you for your comment, we're so glad you connected to this film.

[@robinaanstey3734]

She's beautiful, inside and out. Her philosophy on art, and life, her organic surroundings, the peace & quietude of everyday is what fulfills her spirit. She is truly a beautiful lady. TY for sharing.

[@lynnewillette2654]

Her beautiful soul shines through her eyes.

[@las174]

Thank you for this. I live similar to her at age 63, and started painting 5 years ago. Nice to see older women I can relate to, so I don't have to think there is something wrong with me when I prefer to sit and enjoy the silence, instead of being on the move and entertained with people.

[@rosieleat6868]

Me too! :) I am 63 and started art school when I was 50. I live alone with my two dogs and two cats in a tiny house in the countryside and I am happier than I have ever been in my life :)

[@diancason4769]

Loners understand❤

[@deirdrenishe140]

A beautiful story a beautiful woman🙏

[@dbauerlien]

You are not alone. Peace and quiet is awesome.

[@muflbeauty9024]

I really can refer to this, I love painting on my own as well. I too have a very strong affection to Spiritualität and the inner work and development.

[@janicesutton8301]

This just lowered my blood pressure😂 Love the voice, beautiful house, garden, lovely paintings, what a gem Anne is.

[@kathyquinones1984]

Omgosh! The quiet, the moss.. I'm 57 & I want to be just like Anne when I grow up 🎨🌲🍄🥀🍂

[@CarpeDiemFluctuatNecMergitur]

Spectacular interview, point of views, her life, her muses, her experience on Earth through art. Art is everything. Her eyes tell a lot. Nature, our grandest Healer 💚🍃🍃

[@preemularai7473]

This is my dream. To live the way she’s living, making art, gardening being in nature all by myself self. I hope I get there

[@deboramccallum3987]

We all need peace and the knowledge that we are all one

[@bettinarossi7908]

..and that we are one with the earth and her glorious habitants.🌍🐾🐾🐾

[@kevinfailoni1883]

At 64 i found drawing and painting when a friend told to take it up. I was a professional musician, but when i found painting i couldnt stop. I prefer to be alone with pastels and oil paints and a brush. I think i found my true love

[@Z76455]

What a beautiful soul.... She stole my heart in minutes!

[@robinaanstey3734]

mine as well :)

[@GenevieveEKelly]

Same here.

[@katherinagranger3856]

In a world that is focused on youth and staying young this gorgeous older woman has made me feel so beautiful for the first time in years.. I will take her words with me today as I go about my day..🙏

[@71suns]

🫂🌹🫂

[@cfs_pathtofreedom]

I loved your response & how this beautiful older lady shaped your connection to yourself. I feel the same having seen her & her connection to life. I have such a need for space in my life & often I feel guilty or that I should be more social yet the older I get I sense this is simply what my body & mind need to thrive. Also for my art to weave herself into my life. Here’s to the beauty of wisdom & that deeper knowing that comes with age and embracing ourselves & our own beauty. ❤❤❤

[@marthagerow]

Fabulous. Another hit, Zsofin. Listening to Anne talk about her art, way of life and creative process was inspiring. I have known Anne for 54 years and seen her work over the years shift and change. It truly is beautiful. Thank you!

[@ZoeAwen]

Anne just speaks straight to my heart 💜

[@SandraMarieTrebbne]

I love how you just let the artist speak and you edit out the interviewee. Nicely done! Anne is so beautiful. Everything I want to grow up to be and I'm almost 60 years old!

We all should be able to live like she is. She’s a very fortunate lady. I loved watching her.

When you see beauty, real beauty it touches a place in your heart where there is an immediate recognition of wholeness, truth, love. Anne Ngan your magic is what I yearn for… TY Hornsby Arts

Omg watching this and listening to Anne has been such a special moment in my life 😭I have nothing but respect and awe at a woman who paints for decades on end. Our bodies hurt, and it is hard!

[@Art_in_her_eyes_6]

Loved the video and how expressive she is when it comes to creativity. I was able to relate as I am a full time artist. I would like to watch more such videos. ❤

[@tanyaprado97]

She's just lovely, the way she express herself about art is so beautiful. I would love to have a painting session with her ❤

[@Ka-ly8oi]

Wow, that woman touches me deeply. Beautiful paintings and beautiful house.

[@Kristin-y8f]

Beautiful videography! Anne, her home, surroundings and art work are beautiful and inspiring! Anne said she loves colors! I just read a book yesterday entitled Heaven is for Real! A little boy went to heaven and then was miraculously healed and he came back to this earth. He said there were many beautiful colors in heaven!

[@hoomalumalu]

I'll be 70 on my next birthday. I am Anne. I live on the big island and work on my art everyday.

[@louisewoodcox6943]

So enjoyable. Her love of being creative not only with painting but enjoying her gardens. So important in life, it helps close out the noise.

[@gingerdearing4520]

She speaks to my heart. What a beautiful lady and beautiful surroundings!!! Lovely 🥰

[@samanthab5752]

I really appreciated how she described the work she didn’t feel fully connected to as compost. This is so true even with writing. Thank you so much for this intimate glimpse into the beautiful home and mind of an artist and fellow human.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@HornbyArts]

Thank you for your kind comment :)

[@timcastle1844]

Excellent. This lady speaks about art in the way it is meant to be spoken. Without explanation she explains the feelings of creating and not being able to create along with the process of listening to the "muse" and acceptance that it is not always present. Creatives know when the flow is upon them and the almost desolation of when it's not. Anne Ngan is a treasure.

[@nicola4789]

Beautiful! Will watch it again and again. Thank you!

I came across this video by chance and I'm glad I saw this person. The world is really beautiful and especially when such people exist.❤✨

Dear Lady you will never know how much your words speak to my soul. I too am an artist. I struggle with depression but I feel GOD led me to your channel to hear your words of wisdom today. I too know that sense of the idea for paintings coming in waves and sometimes not coming at all. I admire your quiet and peaceful life. I wish you the best. 😊

[@chilli_bean_23]

Such a beautiful portrait of a beautiful and soulful person. I loved every minute of this little film, the artistry of the camera shots and the meditative quality of both artist and film. Thank you to all involved. 🙏👏🎨

[@ange9748]

Wonderful! It is so precious to meet people like Anne Ngan - even if on the KZbin channel. She became at once close to my heart...or my soul? I can't feel the differens. I appreciate the way she lives, the way she walks, the way she talks, the way she paints.....it's a wonderful silent und strong message she represents with her being just like that. It feels like ablessing for me to have met her... even we live so far away from each other. I didn't feel the distance. Thank you for the opportunity of this connection.

Such a beautiful affirmation that I am indeed on the right path. As life continues its ageing process on this canvas of my life, may I, too, evolve into such creativity, graciousness and wisdom. Thank you for showing the way!

[@mscreative7345]

I too am an artist and I relate to everything Anne was saying. From having creative blocks to feeling the spirit when you paint and letting it take over. I too use my garden of flowers of many colors as an artistic palette as well. When ppl drive by my house in the country they marvel at how beautiful my garden is every year and how they never know from year to year what it will look like come fall bc I change it all the time. Anne is a beautiful soul. She and I are sisters. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Anne I was so relaxed listening to you I nearly fell asleep. Not from boredom by any means, you are a story teller dear lady. When you were on your roof I was so worried about you falling through the glass I missed what you were saying and had to go back again.. please take care.. I love all of these beautiful rustic homes (who wouldn't love living and painting in their studio - if you felt inclined to do a little more art you could.. never having to shut the door and return to 'the house'?) that artists on Hornby Island are living in.. and who wouldn't want to live in a chicken house :)...cheers from Western Australia x
