Ross have  had  excited  experiences  while  in  Fine  Art  field. Painting had brought  her  to meet  galleries owner,  and  The Beverly Hilton  Hotel  manager  in Beverly Hills, California 90210, USA.

Her  first  visit  to Beverly Hills  happened  when  she’s    a  fashion designer. Her   curiosity  had  brought  her  to visit the  famous  Rodeo Drive.

“I  met  those wonderful  people  not  just   ‘to test my nerve’,  or just ‘to test how a villager goes to city ‘, or  ‘just to have a try’ , or just ‘nothing to loose’ or just for fun.  I  am dreaming  to  bring  the Indonesian  artist  painter  to  the  world.  I  am  also curious  about  the  world appreciation  to  our  art painting. Especially  to  the  class  and  the  hedonism  society.”  And before,  to compare the distant between  the  fashion  in  Rodeo Drive  and  Indonesia.

“I came  to Beverly Hills   with  positive thinking,   with confident , honesty, seriousness, love to meet people,  want to  learn something , to develop my knowledge,  with  politeness  and  good manner”.

“Don’t  underestimate  yourself,  if  you   know  exactly  what  you  are  doing. And that you are not going  to  harm  anybody  else”, Ross says.

“And  I  believe , if  we used  to treat people nice, polite and proper, so  will  in  return to  us”.

” They  respond  me  warmly,”  says Ross. They are  eager  to run my Indonesia painting  exhibition  in  their gallery   and   hotel  in  Beverly Hills. And  in  return  I  should   exhibit their collections  in Jakarta.

“I ever been in Beverly Hills before this  painting visit. The first visit I made just after I had participated the fashion fair at the Pret a  Porter, in New York”, says Ross.

“On the way home  to Jakarta, I stay  in Hollywood  for few days  just by myself,   in a  hotel  next  to  The  China Theater and the  Walk  of  Fame. I intend  to visit Disneyland, for sharing stories with  my kids.

“As a fashion designer who had participated  the Pret a Porter in Paris and New York, I think there’s nothing wrong to know and  ‘to learn’  about  the  famous  Rodeo Drive  in Beverly Hills. Just window shopping and  looking around”.

Did  you ever heard  this  saying? “Many  people do the right things. But not many people do in the right way”.

Remember  how  Juliet Robert in “Pretty Woman” had pushed out unpleasantly  from a  boutique in Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills?.

“I didn’t  get  such  tough  treatment. The people in Beverly Hills,  even in Rodeo Drive  they treat  me  nicely  and kindly,” says  Ross.

In  Jakarta Hilton she  had  already several times  run painting exhibitions. And she  passed  them the  booklets  about  her  painting  exhibition  shows .

Painting  had  brought  her  to visit the Manager of  The Beverly Hilton  in  Beverly Hills, California 90210.

“This  class hotel had treat me, my friend  and my son in a class hospitality. He (and the staff) is so warm and polite. He brought us to have a tour around the important (ball) rooms  to show  places, if  one  day I will run  an  exhibition  in  The  Beverly  Hilton”.

“As long I could afford the  place  in  The Beverly Hilton, I am very  welcome to run the Indonesia painting exhibition there”.

But, (you know it ), she  cannot afford it at all.


When  in  Beverly Hills,  she also visit a  big   painting  gallery , which sell  various  kind of  paintings, included  the   Chinese   and  Vietnamese  painters. In the same time   she  became  more  optimistic  about   the  future  of   the Indonesian painters.  If  their painting  could  reach here……

While  Ross  talking  with  the  manager  of  this  big gallery, she whispered, ” That lady  is  also  from Indonesia. She bought some paintings  from us.”  When  she  mentioned   the  buyers  name,  Ross  knew  that  the  lady  buyer   is  the  daughter  in  law  of  an  Indonesian  conglomerate. The  manager  look  much  happier   when  knew  from Ross   that  her  buyer  came  from  a  famous  and   wealthy  Indonesian  Chinese  family .

“My second trip (painting mission) to Beverly Hills  accompanied by  my son ( now  he  is  a  Creative Director in a prominent advertising  agency, as well as an author). This time we  stayed  with a  family friend a Californian citizen.

“In  this  trip to  Beverly Hills  I also met   a fine art gallery owner. This  gallery  has   selective  creation. In that  time   the  gallery  has  exotic  paintings  and   bronze  statues  of  a  Mecixan artist  which  had  collected  by  president. The artist  had  many press releases.”

“When I show them my  exhibition  catalogs,  in  instantly, they  agree   to  have  an  exchange exhibition . Means, I exhibit  their collection (beautiful  painting and  statue) in  Jakarta  on  my expenses, and  I may  exhibit  Indonesia  paintings  in Beverly Hills  on their expenses.”

“When I back  home  to  Jakarta, I find  out  there’s  a  letter  from Beverly Hills. They wrote that they  were  pleased  to  meet  me. and  remind  me  about  the  plan. Few  days  later they call  me.”

But  again,  she found out that  she  cannot afford   this  reciprocal  business  offer.

The  problem  is  always  the  same   ‘traditional’  problem. They have  no  problem with  dollar  currency, but we  (always) really did.

She   hates to  disappointed people. But  she  can’t  help  at all.  It  is  beyond  of  her capacity.

For sure, this  is  the first time , that  someone  from  Indonesia  get  such  value  offer  from Beverly  Hills. The  problem is  simple. Since no  one  ever ‘dare’  before  to  penetrate  the  Beverly Hills. (How  could  you  know  the  result, if  you  never  try?)

“I passed  this   good  and  bad  news to  “my” Indonesia  artist  painters. To  motivated  and  supported  their  art  spirit.

That,  even  Beverly Hills  gallery  and  Beverly  Hilton  hotel  accepted  their  work,”  Ross says.—-
