In the early 90s, Evelyna founded the “Art in Hospital” in Hong Kong initiative, and spearheaded the idea of Art and Health in all communities. It's not just the hospital walls that are transformed into happy and colorful murals, ”Art in Hospital” also organizes different levels of therapeutic arts projects to close the relationship between health care personnel, social services, staff, patients and artists alike. She then founded “Art for All” in 2002, a charitable Community Art organization, which aims to use Art to empower all, for a better, harmonious inclusive society, to respect oneself and for all.

Evelyna has exhibited extensively around Hong Kong and Asia, In her own personal work she mostly addresses women issues. Her interest has extended into the area of ‘Healing through Art’ using ordinary daily objects to raise concerns about the relationship between countries and between communities.
