Born in Penang, Malaysia, Tan Shen Ru went to Graceland University USA and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA), majoring in Art and minoring in Music. Finding painting therapeutic, she now immerses herself in it whenever her work schedule allows her to do so. She regards her works as exercises in an ongoing art practice, referring to them as 'experiential' and 'in the moment' artworks.
Form, shape, texture, colour, line, and movement - elements of the visual world - have always fascinated her and of late, she has explored them in her very own personal way. Shen Ru has also travelled widely and she believes that this has contributed in many ways to her understanding of art and of herself as a person. |

works are experiential" |

Looking at some of the images of her recent solo exhibition, "Colour In Motion", it was clear she was a genuinely talented abstract artist. The images showed paintings replete with bottomless depths of bright colours, all seeming to be bursting off the canvas.
