吴家瑜，广东中山人，1971年由台湾移民加拿大温哥华。自幼喜爱诗书琴画，惜生不逢时，没有适当时机专修艺术，早年也发表过一此诗歌短文，但亦无大进展。

 

直到家庭，儿女的负担减轻后，方“重拾旧欢”与当代知名人士习画，并为退休后做精神上的陶冶，心灵的寄托，和时日的消遣。

 

在短短的人生坎坷的道路上，踯躅万里，我们带不走什么，来去空空，也许望能留下一 些什么，但亦只是个未知数，能做的也只有珍惜目前的分秒，待回首总算不枉费此生。 我们不可能把自己的生命延长到无限，但到可以尽量也做些自己喜爱而有意义的事。

 

 

 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.
