Debbie’s intense passion in design and hand craft have compelled her to take a sharp turn in her career and became a full-time artist two decades ago. She has been experimenting with different media in her artwork. It includes mosaic, pottery, glass and fibre.

Lately he focus is on fibre both in 2D and 3D form with sustainable practice. Fibre is an exquisite medium for self-expression. Regardless of its origin, be it from nature or from high tech innovation, it is there for us to improve our lives both functionally and aesthetically. It is the application and affinity aspects of this medium that appeals to me enormously.

By bringing back reminiscence of how our artisan ancestors made things from accessible natural resources with their bare hands, we can uncover our roots and take a different perspective of ourselves and our surroundings.

Debbie’s work has been exhibited and collected around the world. She custom makes art wearables for individual clients as well as create decorative pieces for commercial organizations, fashion shows and exhibitions. Apart from teaching in design colleges in Hong Kong, she has been a visiting lecturer in The Central Academy of Fine Arts (中國中央美術學院), China Fashion Designers’ Association, Penland School of Crafts (U.S.), University of South Queensland. She has also worked as art consultant for hotel chains and curated art exhibitions.

Debbie’s most recent project involves reviving our traditional dress “cheongsam” which is one of the national intangible cultural heritages.
