I’m inviting you into My Curated Life—a visual reflection built from decades of noticing beauty in art, nature, people, and the everyday objects that quietly shape our lives.
This solo exhibition weaves memories, travels, and personal encounters, transformed through journaling and quiet creative reflection.
Anthony Van Lam paints not simply what is seen, but what is remembered—each work shaped by emotion, memory, and quiet meaning.
Presented during the Sydney Lunar New Year Festival, My Curated Life invites you to slow down, reflect, and consider the moments and objects that shape your own story.
The VIP Experience
For those who wish to engage more deeply, the My Curated Life – VIP Experience offers an immersive extension of the exhibition, bringing together art, music, and storytelling in a contemplative, layered format.
VIP access is designed not only to complement what you see on the walls, but to carry the spirit of the exhibition beyond the gallery.
Gong Xi – Lunar New Year Song Collection (Pre-Order)
An exclusive musical companion to the exhibition. This curated Lunar New Year song collection deepens the emotional atmosphere of My Curated Life, inviting you to linger with memory, ritual, and reflection long after your visit.
Cultural Reflection Card Collections (Pre-Order)
VIP guests are invited to pre-order a curated selection of three cultural reflection card series, thoughtfully created to complement the exhibition.
All three card series are illustrated by Anthony Van Lam, with storytelling guided by Vinh Van Lam—creative coach, writer, storyteller, and co-founder of ArtSHINE. Together, they bring visual memory and written reflection into a shared, contemplative experience.
The three card series include:
15 Days to Lunar New Year
A reflective countdown designed especially for children aged 6–12 and families, exploring anticipation, preparation, and intention in the days leading up to the Lunar New Year. Created to encourage conversation, curiosity, and shared reflection across generations.
15 Days of Lunar New Year
A day-by-day storytelling journey designed for children aged 6–12 and families, capturing the meaning, rituals, and gentle moments of celebration—inviting families to pause, reflect, and connect together throughout the festive season.
The Meaning & Symbolism of Chinese Flowers
A storytelling-led series exploring floral symbolism, cultural meaning, and memory. Each collection is designed for journaling, reflection, and returning to over time—echoing the way My Curated Life invites you to revisit the moments and objects that quietly shape who you are.
