Artist Biography
Jeanie loves art. She is tireless in her efforts to touch people’s hearts with her drawings and paintings.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Jeanie immersed herself in the banking industry for a couple of years after earning a business degree from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Her childhood dream of becoming an artist went unrealised until she left her stable job to pursue a new life as a full-time painter in 2009 – although she has never received formal art training. Since the creation of her signature character “Oowa” in 2010, Jeanie’s talents have been further showcased in her picture books and solo exhibitions.
Jeanie walks hand-in-hand with colours, down a path of simple expression, which connects the audience to the deepest recesses of her soul.
