Artist Statement
To me, Art is exploring, observe and expression.
Previously as an interior design student, I worked predominantly in dot, line, face and form. Solving people’s requests in working to briefs. Feeling restricted by this and inhibited by the digital design tools I had become familiar working with, I made the decision to leave this path behind and focus on developing personally directed work as a fine artist.
My recent works are mainly inspired by the Hong Kong landscape. I has always been interested in the environment and the spatial. The icon of the Hong Kong building is tall, intensive and surrounded by ramps and hillsides. The distance between city and nature is an issue important to me. I hopes, through the language of painting, to be able to record her views of the scenery in Hong Kong.
