Brother Joseph McNally was a crucial person for my family and I in Singapore.

I arrived in Singapore in the year 1991. Our daughter Ana enrolled in the Drama programme at LASALLE College of the Arts in 1992, and here she met Brother Joe. Brother Joe invited my wife Delia and I to produce a solo exhibition at the LASALLE Gallery where he was the guest of honour. It was at this exhibition that he invited me to teach at LASALLE, and in 1994 I was employed by him as a Senior Lecturer.

We have had the good fortune to have many great conversations over good food and wine enough to last a lifetime.
