Gallery@OURF was founded in 2009 as a social initiative by OURF. It was founded by Pin Lay, a social artist and educator in little red dot. Pin Lay hopes to use her talents for art and technology to help make the world a little better. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” – John 10:10.
Since 2013, Gallery@OURF has been blessed with many volunteers and friends who believed in the vision of using arts for a better world. Their lives have been enriched through walking this journey together as volunteers and putting their different gifts and talents as a team to help bring about a better world.
About Pin Lay

She has sold more than 120 paintings and counting since her exhibitions in 2013. Pin Lay’s paintings and artworks have travelled to Bhutan, China, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Seoul(Korea), South Hebron, Sydney(Australia) and Zambia.
