Some people say it is difficult to make a living as an artist, but opportunity knocked on Elaine\u2019s door, leading her to pursue a career as a full-time artist. Elaine was helping her Fine Arts Society to raise fund by selling postcards of her drawings, the response was surprisingly good and she even got invited by a university bookstore staff to sell her postcards in the store. Since then, she realized there is a market demand for art in Hong Kong, and it is possible to become an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elaine participated in two overseas exchange programs – a summer exchange at Cambridge University and a semester exchange at the University of Edinburgh. She took a painting course, and other courses that HKU did not offer, such as those related to architecture and art. While in the UK, she also took the opportunity to attend an international Art Fair in Oxford, where she got many valuable advices that benefited her a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An artist\u2019s income would be unstable sometimes, but she enjoyed the process. After graduation, she received job invitations for various commercial commissions, such as \u201c2018 Vivid Sydney\u201d and \u201cVictoria\u2019s Secret\u201d mural in Central. She also ran outdoor painting classes on a part-time basis to support her income. However, with the spread of the epidemic, there are fewer job invitations and she has to change outdoor classes to online. Luckily, a gallery signed her up as a full-time artist. As for the future, she hopes to try different media to draw or add different characters into her works, and to study further to improve her painting skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
