#200 May Yeung: Art, Advocacy, and a Toddler Takeover in Hong Kong

For the first time ever, my podcast comes full circle—finally featuring a guest from my home city, Hong Kong!  Meet May Yeung: teaching artist, founder of the charity Art of My Family, cancer survivor, and proud mom of an energetic 14-month-old. While Hong Kong is famous for finance, May proves art can be just as powerful—reshaping lives, advocating for mental health, and championing sustainability. And as a bonus, our youngest guest yet (her toddler!) makes an appearance. Stay tuned for a heartwarming and paint-splattered conversation! Key Highlights of Our Interview: 3:17—From Wall Scribbles to Ceramics: A Childhood Steeped in Art “From the time I was around two years old, I would draw on walls before I could even write my name. By five, my father and I were creating ceramics together. At age 12, my fascination with dadaism and pop art gave me the conviction to become an artist.” "I met Professor Jeff Oppenheimer who gave a lecture on integrating art into daily life, and daily life into art, and the contents of this lecture really helped to form the framework and direction of my art to this day." 6:00—Where Art Meets Music: How Music Has Influenced Her Art Creation   8:41—From Crunching Numbers to Crafting Impact: How Finance Led May to Art and Social Change 11:20—Faith Over Fear: How Battling Cancer Transformed a Perfectionist into a Celebrator of Life’s Small Wins "I think the cancer experience really let me feel a greater sense of conviction to serve the underprivileged" 16:25—Art for Archer: How Motherhood and Heritage Shape Her Creations 18:09—Dim Sum and Chinese Checkers: Weaving Hong Kong’s Culture into Every Piece of Art 21:34—Memorable Art Pieces “What If” and “Blossom Love”: Sculpting Bridges Between Cultures and Endless Possibilities 23:19—From Corporate CSR to Creative Compassion: The Birth of Art of My Family 30:00—May’s Life Mission to Inspire the Next Generation: The Three C’s of Art Education and the Role of a Teaching Artist ______________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: May Yeung ______________________ --**Chief Change Officer**-- Change Ambitiously.
