Capturing the city’s waterways
Asia’s seascapes, harbours and rivers along with our own unique boating community have been an inspiration to Lorette E Roberts, an artist whose work you’re likely familiar with. She’s the creator of the My Hong Kong ABC Activity Book, which is full of bright Hong Kong-themed images that are perfect for introducing the city to preschoolers. “S” is not for “spider” in Lorette’s book; it’s for “Star Ferry” and “sampan”, two of the Fragrant Harbour’s iconic waterways images.
This past year, Lorette has spent time capturing even more aquatic images for her latest books. Here, she shares some special memories from creating g these beautiful w works.
