ESSAY 3 : Lam Shun Hui

I am a diploma graduate in Fine Art who is interested in both visual art and writing, and having participated in the art writing and art critic workshop held by HOM Art Trans last week, would like to be a part of the online art writing forum community.

I've had experience in writing since young, and had developed an interest in writing since. Although my previous writings are mainly in chinese, but I also try to communicate ideas using English as my secondary language and B.M. as a third.

There are a variety of genre, languages and topics that I write on, basically writing about anything that I get my hands on or find interesting, using the language that comes in handy.

I understand that I have a lot of shortcomings when it comes to knowledge and experience, plus multiple other flaws, and art is a very new writing subject for me, but I want to learn and improve myself.

With all that said, I would like to thank everyone who had made this chance possible, and for tolerating me during the workshop.

Thank you.
