About Me

She received her doctoral degree in 2007 with her thesis: 'Social Consciousness: A Visual Exploration of its Formation and Change in Contemporary Hong Kong'. Her current works focus on social consciousness and phenomena in contemporary Hong Kong and the city's gradual reconstruction of identity in post 1997 era. Her works embrace painting and installation and interact with both Chinese and Western philosophies and concepts. Over the years, Lucille has exhibited regularly in museums and galleries both internationally and locally, won several awards, completed commissioned works for hotels and corporations. Her works are collected by museums, hotels, universities, big corporations and private individuals.
