Singha Hon is a visual artist, illustrator, designer, and educator from New York City.
Her work is inspired by nature, dreams, community, and mythology, and the many threads that weave us all together. As a teaching artist, she has taught on subjects ranging from drawing, portraiture, sculpture, printmaking, cyanotyping to an intergenerational cohort of students.
She has worked as a teaching artist with The W.O.W. Project through their storefront residency and through the Creatives Rebuild New York program. She is currently a Public Artist in Residence through the PAIR program with DCLA in NYC.
Her murals and installations exist across New York, including in downtown Manhattan and in Kingston, NY.
Today Singha talks about her early relationship with art and how she eventually finds a way to align her passion for storytelling through art with her values in a way that supports her continued creation. She talks about what inspires her work, nature, mythology and dreams and how these relate to both her personal life and her work. Singha shares the mythology that inspired her Lunar Calendar, "Door Gods, Our Community Protectors," "Black Bear // Dreams of the Mountains," and "Welcoming Dreams, A Return." She speaks passionately about the need to expand the narrative that's available to the collective, including a return to earlier narratives and those to be imagined as a way towards a brighter future. We also meander into shared thoughts on how it can be hard to say "No" unless we're held within a giving culture.
