Ze Ze Lai was born in Hong Kong and has had extensive experience in the art field and design industry. As a watercolor artist, her expertise is in painting animals, birds in particular. Through her distinctive manipulation of brushwork and water technique, she creates dream-like and mystical scenes, capable of bringing her viewers on a journey and voyage through their imagination. She aims to capture the essence and character of each little animal, rather than a simple accuracy in anatomy and technical precision. It is through the creation of atmosphere that the different feelings of happiness, sadness, or spontaneity is brought out and experienced by the viewer.

Her award-winning work has been widely exhibited all over the world in Asia, Europe and America. She is President of the International Watercolor Society – Hong Kong, and has served with IWS Global, Hong Kong Artists Federation, and the International Masters of Watercolour Association. Most recently, she won the Best Work Award in the 2021 Albania International Watercolor Festival.
