Chan Lim, the family patriarch, started his career in the arts using oil and watercolor as his main media. Most of his artworks are created on canvas and paper. The second generation was trained mostly in the Asian arts. One of the two older siblings' notable pieces is a panel of pine and plum painting started 35 years ago. The unfinished painting was unearthed in storage and recently finished. As a gesture of filial piety, the family patriarch, Chan Lim, was requested to compose a poem for the artwork entitled "The Journey."
The Chan Lim artists have traveled extensively across the Philippines to promote Chinese culture by conducting art exhibits, classes, workshops, seminars, and on-the-spot painting demonstrations. Close collaboration between the Chn Lims and the leadership of the SM Supermalls bring these exhibits to different parts of the country. In addition, prominent local Filipino-Chinese non-profit organizations and educational institutions lend support for the free art workshop held in conjunction with the exhibits. All the workshops have enjoyed robust attendance and participation.
