Originally a British but has decided to permanently reside in Sabah, draws inspiration from the early colonial Sabahan lifestyle to produce paintings and sketches that made her a leading figure in the history of Sabah art. Besides finding the right classification for her and her artwork, readers need to appreciate her artwork through her unique perspective of Sabahan native lives, cultures, and traditions which will be further explained in tandem with samples of her artwork. It is hoped that there will be greater appreciation and understanding of her aesthetics and style in connection to Sabah art history where Tina Rimmer is concerned.
