I use "Zentangle" skill to create a deformed goose by taking my daughter's suggestion as the pronunciation of goose in Chinese language is same as one word of my name.

Thinking the creation topic of the work on this small canvas, which will exhibit on the charity sales every year brings me happiness.

I believe art originates from empathy and love, and my work for charity sales is composed in a random way, performing the styles of Matisse and Picasso, and some felt tip pen strokes.

I realized that A.R.T. performs the outstanding quality among those exhibitions; and we are so lucky to see a lot of wonderful artworks even in Taipei.

Taiwan is the country most supportive of Earthquake 311 Japan. With gratitude for the support of Taiwan, I paid special attention to Taiwan's history and background, and hardly imagined that Taiwan has donated more than other countries as its difficult international situation. So I decided to visit Taiwan for understanding this place, exploring its scenery around, and introducing Taiwan to the world. My work for the Hundred Celebrities Charity Sales is the scenery of tulips taken in Netherland. With a unique beauty expressed from an upward view, the tulips are also a symbol of a power to strive for success.
He Mo Zhen, Public Relations Manager, Carrefour Head Office
I revised the work and changed the theme for many times before the final version coming out. At the final stage, I visualized the interpersonal relationship around me, so I illustrated a colorful flower with connected petals as the work for this charity event. The flower on canvas expresses my positive, happy and joyful feeling when I connect with others, and highlights an unusual face of myself revealed during the creation process.
Chang Yi-Jyung, CEO, PXMART Qing-Xiang Charity Foundation

My work is related to two elegant swans, standing next to each other to form a shape of heart. I think the only key of partaking in public activities is a compassionate heart. So I used bright colors to draw an aspirational heart.
Ugly Facebook, Illustrator
Centered at the canvas is a giant cat, while many little elves around were moving and serving cat food. I used a humorous and funny way to express how the position between humen and cats changes in current society. People comment on certain things as ugly at the first sight, though there are many meanings behind.

The major medium for my work is the remaining laces from a garment sewing. On the artwork for the charity activity, I also used acrylic paint to create many colorful layers on canvas to perform an effect by combining abstract style and collage art.

So my work this year is related to an flying up eagle.

I had spent 6 years on learning the art of photograph, and I got an inspiration last year when I visited the exhibits of A.R.T. artist, Sung Yong-Hua.

I wish that more people appreciate the beauty of Taiwan.

I painstakingly thought how to express my theme and creation on this small canvas as the work for the Hundred Celebrities Charity Sales 2017; also my first time to partake this charity activity. By considering this is a yearly activity, I decided to continue my past series "Love", created by using felt-pens, and a Chinese zodiac sign would be put as time stamp on the work for each year.
Fen-fen Cheng, Film Director
I started to participate in the Hundred Celebrities Charity Sales since its first version. I used a box of color pencils, which was a gift, to create my work for the charity sales this year, though it was difficult to color the canvas with the color pencil. I created the work based on an inspiration from a dining experience at a Michelin 3-stars restaurant in a foreign country. The restaurant offered a menu with a splendid cover. Since my first participation in this event, every year I had a fear to get the organizer's message that my work is unsalable because I do think my painting skill is not good enough. In spite of my concern about the painting quality, my work was sold out in the blink of an eye every year, which made me shocked into admiration of a great number of philanthropic persons in Taiwan!

During these years, I expected to receive the canvas from A.R.T. staff when the time for A.R.T. since I am a person who enjoys painting. I need to think more about how to present my theme precisely on a small canvas, so the creation process is more difficult even the canvas is small sized. After visiting A.R.T. those years, I hope that I can exhibit my works at this art exhibition some day.
