序:

    愛美是人類的天性，而對美的詮釋卻往往因人而異。童年回佛山探親時得睹外公珍藏，瓷器古畫上那翩躚的花鳥與嫻雅的仕女，便是我對“美”最初的悸動。

    求學時期，每周的美術課都讓我特別期待，然而步入社會及至組織家庭後，畫筆便在瑣碎日常中漸漸蒙塵。本人從事幼兒教育工作，由於工作需要，1989年獲校方舉薦，於東亞大學（今澳門大學）修讀在職教育文憑課程（幼兒教育），當中再次觸及到藝術範疇，此刻沉寂多年的熱情驟然復燃，加上丈夫（澳門美術協會資深會員）的鼓勵和全力支持，遂重拾畫筆並報讀甘恆老師畫班，經他引薦隨書畫籇刻家譚可文先生學習山水畫。譚先生移居海外後，又得嶺南派畫家鄔錫華先生親授花鳥技法……。諸位恩師的傾囊相授，不僅滋養了我的筆墨，更賦予我尋求突破的勇氣，非常感恩。

    退休之後，我在澳門藝術博物館和澳門博物館擔任導賞員。十餘年與藝術珍品的對視，以及對其創作時代背景的了解，不僅拓闊了我對中西美術史的認知，更萌生探索多元藝術的念頭。懷著“水墨之外，別有洞天”的想法，便陸續參與澳門藝術博物館舉辦的繪畫、陶藝……等工作坊，在黎鷹先生的水彩世界裡捕捉光影，於黎小傑先生的油彩刀筆間體悟肌理……。成為澳門美術協會一員後，有更多的機會參與外出寫生與交流活動，在前輩同道的指點中畫藝日進，這份亦師亦友的情誼，是我藝術生命中最珍貴的饋贈。 

    是次畫展除展出我的油畫、水彩和水墨作品外，更包含數幀與先夫陳勝勇的合作畫，請不吝批評指正。

Preface

The appreciation of beauty is inherent to human nature; however, interpretations of beauty often vary among individuals. My initial stirrings of "beauty" occurred during childhood visits to Foshan, where I admired my grandfather's collection of porcelain and ancient paintings featuring graceful flowers, birds, and elegant ladies.

During my academic years, I eagerly looked forward to my weekly art classes. However, after entering the workforce and starting a family, my paintbrush gradually collected dust amidst the routine of daily life. As a professional in early childhood education, I was encouraged in 1989 by my institution to pursue a diploma in in-service education (early childhood education) at the University of East Asia (now the University of Macau). This opportunity rekindled my connection with the arts, reigniting a passion that had lain dormant for years.

With the unwavering support of my husband, Chan Seng Iong, a senior member of the Macau Artist Society, I returned to painting and enrolled in classes with Master Kam Hang. Through his guidance, I had the privilege of studying landscape painting under Master Tam Ho Man, a renowned calligrapher and painter. After Master Tam relocated overseas, I continued my artistic journey by learning floral and avian techniques from Master Wu Sek Wa of the Lingnan School.

The generous teachings of these esteemed mentors not only enhanced my artistic skills but also inspired me to embrace new challenges. I am profoundly grateful for their guidance.

After retiring, I took on the role of a tour guide at the Macau Museum of Art and the Macau Museum. Over a decade of engaging with artistic treasures and delving into their historical contexts not only expanded my understanding of both Eastern and Western art history but also ignited a passion for exploring diverse artistic expressions. Embracing the belief that "beyond ink and wash lies another realm," I participated in various workshops organized by the Macau Museum of Art. In Mr. Lai Ieng's watercolor classes, I learned to capture light and shadow, while Mr. Lai Sio Kit guided me in exploring texture through oil painting.

As a member of the Macau Artist Society, I had even more opportunities for outdoor sketching and collaborative activities, further honing my skills under the mentorship of experienced peers. The camaraderie and support I found among fellow artists have been some of the most valuable gifts of my artistic journey.

This exhibition showcases not only my oil paintings, watercolors, and ink works but also several collaborative pieces created with my late husband, Chan Seng Iong. I welcome your critiques and feedback.
