Was out in HK Island for a client meeting this afternoon. Across the client’s office is the HK Arts Centre, decided to take a stroll there for the first time after the meeting.
By chance, I stumbled upon an exhibition called “The Mind Painter” showing off works of the artist Tam Man Ling. The collection includes a wide variety of media – watercolor, oil painting, pottery, etc. On my way out, I was unexpectedly offered a free autographed booklet of the artist! I’ve spent a few hours reading the entire book from cover to back. Impressed in how the artist was able to use art to get herself through mental illness. I’m also a bit envy of how she’s able to support herself by making art alone. What would life be like if one can freely immerse oneself in creating art each and every day? I can only imagine…
