“This is a very meaningful opportunity to work with The Peninsula, and to spread love and hope to Hong Kong by adding a charity element to our partnership. I am very excited to incorporate one of the most representative icons of Hong Kong in my illustrations. It is especially encouraging to discover an historic hotel that is eager to support young artists and to introduce local Asian art to guests from around the world."
"You will find a lovely bear in my illustrations, which I have created for the very first time especially for The Peninsula. While the hotel is famous for its Pagebear, the bear that I created is holding a heart and pops out from a magician’s hat as I wanted to emphasize the magic of this lovethemed partnership,” ~ said Alice.
