The artist has been exhibiting in the Ottawa area for over 20 years. Although she has studied and worked in various mediums, she always returns to her medium of choice: watercolour.

Lu’s soft flowing watercolours are as familiar to art collectors in the area, as the skyline and landmarks of the Ottawa and Gatineau region are to the local residents. Her attention to mood and immediate sense of a “moment in time” in her subjects, touches a chord with most viewers, who can relate to what they see, and appreciate the poetic and at other times dramatic way of “putting it in paint”.

However, her appeal is not limited to the Ottawa and Gatineau region. Her “Umbrella”, “Sails”, and “Musicians” series, for example, have won her international acclaim. Her works hang in private and corporate collections across Canada, the United States, and abroad.

Lu’s painting entitled “Sleighride” was featured in the SOS Children’s Villages Canada, Christmas Card selection for 1998, and proved so popular it was re-issued in 2003. Lu has produced a 12-painting commission for Rencontres HISTORICA Encounters (Terry Fox) for their 25^th Anniversary Celebration, and recently completed an “Orchestral” series for a private collection.

Lu exhibits in both solo and juried shows, nationally and internationally. She is a member of; The Ottawa Art Association, the Ottawa Watercolour Society (elected a Fellow), The San Diego Watercolor Society (elected an Honorary Member), the Kanata Civic Art Gallery, the Nepean Fine Arts League, and Art Lending of Ottawa, to name but a few.
