Most recent project - aatei art brand
https://www.chensands.com/about-aatei
"aatei was created as a response to the flood of support and love I received from the females in my life after being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Now in remission, I still find myself unable to fully express in words or even actions the deep feelings of love and thankfulness I have for these women. An art course taken on a whim, opened up new creative possibilities for me and what flowed after was a release of these emotions onto paper through the process of mark-making. With aatei, I continue my journey in art and mark-making and with the launch of the Message Print I hope to enable everyone to show love and thanks to the ‘aatei’ in their lives."
