Talking about her parents' influence she said; 'My parents were my first teachers, followed by books.'

From 1993 until 1998 Sein Sein Lin attended the University of Culture in Rangoon. After she got her BA she worked for many magazines, writing articles and making illustrations with her brushes. In Rangoon she has shown her art work at many group exhibitions.

'I have many hobbies, like reading, writing, poetry, music, and they all influence my paintings', said Sein Sein Lin. One of her dreams is to be so successful that she can obtain the art works of other artists. Another dream is to share her knowledge of art with the younger generations. Sein Sein Lin is working hard to make her dreams come true.

She believes in 'Art for Escape'.
