Art is both a source of joy and an expression of life’s seasons for HCA Hospice Care’s patient Mr Lee How Son. The four-time cancer survivor has completed thousands of paintings and calligraphy works over the last two decades, spanning diverse themes, including majestic landscapes, Chinese poems, animals and fruits.
With a background in architecture, Mr Lee has always had a keen eye for aesthetics, devoting himself to art. Despite his prolonged battles with cancer, Mr Lee remains positive and cheerful, preferring to focus on his artistic pursuits instead of dwelling on his health condition.
One of Mr Lee’s wishes is to hold an art exhibition to showcase some of the works he has completed over the years. As part of HCA’s “A Good Day” project, “The Seasons of Art” virtual charity exhibition was put together.
All paintings featured in the exhibition are for sale with proceeds going towards HCA Hospice Care.
The exhibition will run from today till 30 June 2021. Free admission.

About “A Good Day”
The “A Good Day” project first began in 2019, to explore what a good day means to patients as they approach the end of life. Each patient’s definition is unique – ranging from holding an art exhibition, to reliving cherished childhood memories – yet interconnected by the desire to live life with dignity while dying.
