陳淳慧 CHAN, Rosy

Rosy Chan was born in 1963 in Hong Kong and went to a Catholic nun’s school until seventeen. Being a problematic child with poor grades in school, she went on to make her own living in the financial services industry after graduated from high school. Rosy lost her job in 2008 during the financial tsunami and decided to follow her interest in art making. After getting a Professional Diploma in Jewellery Design in 2010 and a Professional Diploma in Visual Arts Appreciation and Art-making in Baptist University Hong Kong, she then decided to pursue a degree in fine arts and joined RMIT in 2012. Being held and lived in the monochrome world of confined offices for years, Rosy started to use intense colours in her art to express her own life experiences. Rosy resides in Canada and is currently a MFA candidate in University of Calgary.
