Joyce Orallo Lim was one of the mothers Yu met in 2018. The mother of Lim’s two-year-old brother was a stay-at-home mother at the time.
I enjoyed creating flowering concrete and painting pieces, but when I became a mother, I thought my artistic career was over, Lim told CNA Women. She and Yu first spoke through a relaxed all-women gathering where Yu explained the fancy playdates she was organizing.  ,
” It captured my interest because she loves arts and she’s a mum”, Lim said. ” I remember thinking,’ That’s me. I’m hardly only after all.'”
After meeting Lim and other like-minded mothers, Yu realized how excited these ladies were about mother and art, and made the decision to take Mama on Palette to the next level.  ,
After the 2021 pandemic restrictions were lifted, Yu began organizing Mama on Palette while still juggling her full-time position as a selling director.  ,
She established an executive committee, worked on formal partnerships, and gave the public access to the people ‘ artwork.  ,
Making the decision included creating a paid membership program for S$$ 50 per month that included networking opportunities for mothers, business owners, and workshops to help women launch their craft businesses. This program includes priority access to the ability to collaborate with partnering galleries, priority access to the ability to sell one’s painting, and access to networking opportunities for partnering galleries.
All participation and event registration costs are channelled into running activities, paying artists and factory mediators, and maintaining the group.  ,
The National Library Board and Mama on Palette collaborated for the first time in 2021, when people ‘ works were displayed at the Central Public Library.
