Introduction

LI Hill Hei (pen-name: Hill Wan) has been passionate in art since young and insists on engaging in art creation despite his fighting against sickness every day. He focuses on drawing with ball-point pen in recent years and has established a unique style of his own. Following his enrollment in the Hong Kong Red Cross John F. Kennedy Centre, majoring in visual arts in 2001, Hill Hei won the first prize at “National Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition of Teenagers and Children” in the subsequent year and graduated from Hong Kong Institute of Education with Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Visual Arts) - Primary in 2009, with the hope to apply what he has learned into practice and share the beauty of art with others. Apart from working on his art creation, Hill Hei has also been invited as a guest speaker to many schools and organizations to share his life experience. Hill Hei hopes to continue to inspire others with his artworks.
