Born and based in Ipoh, Perak, Oh Chow Moy is a self-taught artist with a strong passion for art since childhood. Despite not having a formal art education, she has been exploring various artistic fields, especially watercolour and Chinese brush painting, since her retirement.

Her artistic journey began in childhood, and she has dedicated herself to mastering artistic techniques and skills. Her love for plein-air painting stems from her desire to connect directly with the subject and its environment. She particularly enjoys painting natural objects and scenery, capturing landscapes that may disappear with development.

Since 1998, she has actively participated in local and international art exhibitions and events. She is a member of the Perak Art Society and a committee member of the Malaysia Contemporary Chinese Painting & Calligraphy Association (Perak branch), frequently exhibiting in their members’ exhibitions. Some of her major exhibitions include the "Ipoh Cave Temples Art Exhibition", KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (2022); "A Colourful Journey", Pin Wei Zhai Art Gallery, Ipoh (2019); "My Landscape 2018", Top-Art Gallery, Selangor (2018); "Kun Ming Expression Art Exhibition", Sepaloh Art Centre, Ipoh (2017); "China - Malaysia Dianchi Wetland Sketch Works Collection Exhibition", Wenlin Art Museum, China (2016); and "Kinta River’s Style of Drawing", Younie Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (2012).
