Lim Cheng Hoe

Lim Cheng Hoe (b. 1912) was born in China but moved to Singapore at a young age. During his studies at Raffles Institution (RI), he studied art under Richard Walker, an influential British administrator and educator. Though he had to balance his artistic pursuits with his career as a clerk, Lim eventually became one of Singapore’s most prominent and beloved watercolourists.
