吳家瑜，廣東中山人，1971年由臺灣移民加拿大溫哥華。自幼喜愛詩書琴畫，惜生不逢時，沒有適當時機專修藝術，早年也發表過一此詩歌短文，但亦無大進展。

 

直到家庭，兒女的負擔減輕後，方“重拾舊歡”與當代知名人士習畫，並為退休後做精神上的陶冶，心靈的寄託，和時日的消遣。

 

在短短的人生坎坷的道路上，躑躅萬里，我們帶不走什麼，來去空空，也許望能留下一 些什麼，但亦衹是個未知數，能做的也衹有珍惜目前的分秒，待回首總算不枉費此生。 我們不可能把自己的生命延長到無限，但到可以儘量也做些自己喜愛而有意義的事。

 

 

 Rebecca Woo enjoyed five years of happy family life in Taiwan in the 1960's, however a tragic accident took the life of her pilot husband and left her a young widow with two small children. In 1971 she decided to leave Taiwan and with her children immigrated to Canada to begin a new life.

　

 Being a single mother in a new country was a struggle and the dreams she had since a child to write, draw and paint were to take second place to raising her family. When the duties of being a mother began to lessen she found time to begin to draw and paint.

 

Rebecca has never had any formal art training. She has, however, taken art courses with Neil Patterson, Howard Carr and Alan Wylie as well as attending local workshops.

 

For Rebecca, art is one way that a spiritual connection with her soul is achieved, and that it brings the highest quality to one's life. She believes, "There is not a lot that one may be able to do to live longer, but there is a lot that one can do to make your life one of peace and tranquility."

 

Rebecca paints not for financial success, but for the joy of a beautiful creation and expression of her feelings. Sharing her vision and work with others provides the reward and satisfaction. Her work has been displayed at local art shows and galleries. Her paintings also are displayed in private collections.
