Gwen Wong's pictorial statements engage the eye through subtle transitions, textures and color. Realizing the importance of edge control as a painter, she is aware of how one brushstroke can effect another. If there are too many strokes, the strength of a single stroke can be lost in smoothness. It is important for her to maximize the effectiveness of her paint strokes when interpreting a subject and uses them to convey the emotion. When painting a full range of subjects, Gwen's prefers the figure. The challenge of recreating human emotion is as complex psychologically to the expressive painter, as well as the technician.
