She took her love for the arts, to pursue an Art De Vivre (Art of Living). She was then able to fully develop her creativity and imagination, and be able to share her passion and appreciation of the arts with others at the same time.

Sockaroo – a term creatively coined by artist Nana Pong – refers to the first character series of her art, which she creates with socks. Inspired by the colours and prints of socks and also the upcycling movement for sustainable living, she created her first “sock sculpture” (Sockaroo) in 2006 and has not stopped creating since. After the sockaroo series, 30 other characters were subsequently created. Some of her works have developed into other forms of media such as illustrations and 3D printing objects.
