Introduction to this website

This website contains a visual record of my thirty years of journey as  an artist- designer and as a teacher, and then a Professor in Hong Kong and Macau. Through more than 33 years of art-related activities, I have maintained my cultural identity as an 'East meets West' artist and designer in both Hong Kong and Macau. The main reason of setting up this website is: to strengthen the relationship with my family, friends, fellow-artists and designers, art patrons, and my students in both Hong Kong and Macau.

Without practising art and design education, my life will never be lived to its full. Thanks to God for his mighty blessing.

You are welcome to view my new ceramic works available for viewing in the section GITO Ceramics Workshop.

My latest paintings are contained in the section Shows.

本人在港澳從事藝術及教育長達33年,感謝神的差遣。在過往十年,因工作關係涉足悉尼與澳門,又將工作、創作溶於一爐,亦將創作寓於娛樂。編寫這個網頁旨在接觸對視覺藝術有興趣的人士,包括本人之贊助、藏家與港澳兩地的學生、朋友等,當中亦包括不可取代的家人,有時只能通過網頁,我們才可互相表達關懷與心意。

2003年7月29日本人於香港藝林畫廊舉辦首個陶藝展,自此不斷展出陶品,詳情刊於(Shows)(GITO Ceramic Workshop(Art)的部份。

My Mission as an Artist-Teacher  

To choose one between art and education, I have chosen the ‘combination’. Art teaching and the practice of art, since 1970,  has been part of my life. Since then, I had changed from an ordinary classroom teacher to someone with hope and target. Alongside my growth as an artist, I met experts in the field of visual arts, among whom are those I followed and learned to practise drawing, painting, claywork and graphic design. I also met educationists both in Hong Kong and abroad who taught me to aim high as a teacher. To all these people, including my parents and other family members, and mentors, I owe them sincere thanks. I am, without any doubts, very grateful to the Mighty God and I know, with all these blessings in the past thirty years, I have a very happy family and owned a strong mission in teaching art with utmost care and love as a Christian and in serving the community both in Hong Kong and elsewhere as an ordinary person.

For the year 2010, more efforts will be put into my creative works, which will be in clay and in acrylics. Please note the changes of information in the section of Last News Update.
