MEET the TEAM

ANDREA DANKER

Andrea Danker is a Singapore-based visual artist and art educator. She graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Arts (First Class) from LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore, accredited by Goldsmiths, University of London. With over eight years of teaching experience, Andrea has worked with learners of all ages, led workshops with the National Library Board and LASALLE, and contributed to community projects including murals with Singtel and WeCare@Marine Parade.

As a trained special needs art educator with From The Margins under The Imagination Programme, she fosters creativity through inclusive art-making. She also mentors aspiring artists in building portfolios for entry into SOTA and tertiary art institutions.

Andrea has exhibited locally and regionally, including with Intersections Gallery at the Affordable Art Fair, Critical Craft Collective, DECK, and The Substation. Her work reflects on movement, repair, and belonging - exploring how identity shifts and takes shape through time, memory, and place. Working across painting, drawing, and installation, Andrea uses storytelling as a way to weave personal experiences with collective histories and shared cultural spaces. 

OLIVIA FONES

Olivia Fones is a visual artist and educator specialising in illustration and textiles. Curious about how the absurd and ordinary overlap, she often utilises text alongside illustrations to explore things normal, weird and weirdly normal. To offset the cost of creative compulsions, she turns her thought drawings into merchandise, which when worn, hopefully allow wearers and passersby to share the expressed sentiments and bring art into everyday spaces and situations.

She graduated from School of the Arts Singapore’s IB Career-related Programme for Visual Arts, and received a BA in Fine Arts (1st class honours) from LASALLE. She has been commissioned by Artbox SG and Mandai Wildlife Reserve to create murals that engage the community, and works with Saltt Workshop to facilitate community art projects for the Chingay Parade and PassionArts Festivals. After placing top 10 in the Vans Custom Culture competition, she began customising sneakers under the brand name NARRENKULT, where experimenting with ink on textiles developed into an interest in making clothes. Using thrifted fabrics, she learned to alter garments and draft patterns, turning NARRENKULT into a curated and handmade clothing label focused on expressing individuality through fashion.

Olivia has special education training as well as curriculum-building and teaching experience, working at Pathlight School’s artist-led Imagination Programme (TIP) from 2024-2025. She is also the programme coordinator for the Singapore Clay Festival 2025.

ZHESHI AFANDI

Zheshi Afandi is a multimedia artist whose work and practice are inspired by childhood experiences and ways of seeing. Working playfully with sewing, printmaking, and mixed media illustration, she captures a sense of innocence, curiosity and wonder. 

Zheshi enjoys working with children and youth, learning from their openness and imagination. Their creative spontaneity continually informs her practice, which celebrates childlikeness as a space of discovery and joy. She also hosts her own workshops with communities and in collaboration with other artists, creating inclusive, hands-on environment that encourage experimentation and self-expression. 

She holds a BA (Hons) in Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts. 

KEITH ANG

His artistic practice spans large-scale public installations, community art, and education, with a distinctive focus on sustainability and inclusive design. Through Arterly Obsessed, Keith has led and created acclaimed installations such as Roots & Wings (Singapore Art Week), The Living Room (Light to Night Festival), We’ve Made Heaven a Place on Earth (ACM Lawn), and The Wonder Blaster 3000 (KidsSTOP)—immersive projects that transform everyday materials like cardboard and recycled objects into participatory experiences.
