庄心珍 1946年出生于新加坡。她对艺术的兴趣始于中正中学，起初是学校戏剧社的戏剧化妆师，后来成为艺术社的成员。这对她来说是一段“美好的时光”，因为她能够参加维多利亚纪念堂的展览。毕业时，她跟随杰出的艺术大师杨惠彬学习西方艺术，学习静物、水彩、油画、雕塑，并远足练习山水画，向自然学习。
庄心珍 是新加坡最多才多艺、最具吸引力的多学科艺术家之一，她先后在新加坡、英国、法国和美国接受教育，作为艺术家和出版作家，自70年代以来她举办了26次个展，参加了100多个群展。 庄心珍在1988年视力受损后，以版画、素描、绘画、拼贴、摄影、装置和大量混合媒体和雕塑为特色，她的艺术实践以其不屈不挠的精神和社会参与而著称，她的作品有力地讲述了人类的状况。她被《她的世界》杂志评为 2001年年度女性。 2005 年，她因对新加坡视觉艺术的贡献而获得文化奖章。
Chng Seok Tin was born in 1946 in Singapore. Her interest in art began in Chung Cheng High School, when she was a theatrical make-up artist for the school’s Drama Society and later as a member of the Art Society. This period was a “wonderful era” for her because she was able to take part in exhibitions at the Victoria Memorial Hall. When she graduated, she studied Western art under distinguished art master, Yeo Hwee Bin, learning about still life, watercolour, oil painting, sculpture, and going on excursions to practise landscape painting and learn from nature.
Chng Seok Tin is one of Singapore’s most versatile and engaging multidisciplinary artists and has given education in Singapore, UK, France and USA. As an artist and published writer, she has held 26 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 100 group exhibitions since the ’70s. From printmaking, drawing, painting, collage, photography, installation, to largely mixed media and sculpture following her visual impairment in 1988, Chng's art practice is distinguished by her unflagging spirit and social engagement. Her works speak powerfully of the human condition. She was named Woman of the Year 2001 by Her World magazine. In 2005, she received the Cultural Medallion for her contributions to visual arts in Singapore.
