Swallow Zhou

Swallow is from China and had been a reporter, editor and writer there for  more than 30 years.  Her journalist career has not only broadened her world  outlook but also her outlook of the arts in the world.  Swallow started  making art when she was a child.  It was not called art then but a hobby.

Swallows  father and teachers early education inspired Swallow to respect art and to  love it in her pursuit of life happiness even though she was not an artist  when she grew up.

Though Swallows art work doesnt have a direct connection to DTES, the  skill she has grasped and adopted to make her art work is from the local  artist.  That is to say, she uses what she has learned here to combine with  what she naturally has to make her own style of artwork.
