Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) has collaborated with Malaysian artist Beatrice Oh in the luxury hotel brand’s first artist collaboration. SLH recently launched a brand campaign Travel Comfort Zones to help guests transcend their comfort zones and expand their holiday horizons.

Beatrice Oh, a full-time artist illustrator based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, loves creating stories and illustrations with watercolour and colour pencils. Drawing inspiration from life experiences, Beatrice’s work taps into authentic emotions of the human spirit surrounded with elements of whimsical childhood nostalgia, the celebration of milestones and playfulness.

Dumpling the Tiger was born out of an adventure the artist longs to take – both in the content but also in the act of creating. The audacity to combine both boundless bravery and endless curiosity makes the ambiguity of what the future holds so much more compelling and exciting for her. In real life, the talented artist has an orange-coloured cat named Hansa who tries to sneak into her suitcase every chance it gets.
