Hong Kong has long captured the imagination of creative types, including LORETTE ROBERTS. For her, it has led to a long and rich career, which has seen her produce art, cards, prints and a Hong Kong calendar every year. We spoke to the UK-based former expat about her work.
When did your connection with Hong Kong start?
I first started to come to Hong Kong in 1992 to visit Bill, my husband, who was involved with airport projects. I instantly liked the place, and naturally started to paint anything that caught my eye – mainly elements of Chinese culture, costumes, buildings and, of course, red doors and post boxes. I settled in Hong Kong in 1997 and held many shows, exhibitions and fairs over the next few years.
