勞丕禮(Janice)來自香港，從事環境教育工作，致力保育自然同時，繪畫大自然之物——尤其植物和雀鳥，依然是她最愛的嗜好。不論精雕細啄一份畫作，抑或隨意執起手邊萬用泥膠塑形的玩味創作，都是一件賞心樂事。雖然Janice主要仍是以傳統媒介創作，但亦愛間中探索新創作媒介。對於Janice而言，藝術創作正好記錄她所愛，並以另一種形式向身邊人分享自然之美。正如大自然一樣，我相信創作離不開愛與給予。
Janice Lo is an environmental educator from Hong Kong. Devoted to nature conservation, drawing is still her favourite hobby, with focuses on flora and birds. Both detailed drawings and playful ways even molding with a piece of blu-tack can yield her the joy to create. Working mostly with traditional media, she also likes trying out new media. Art is a way to capture what she loves and share what she appreciates with others. Like nature, I believe this is about love and giving.

我仍記得十一月那和暖晴朗的一天，是我第一次遇見紫紋兜蘭（Paphiopedilum purpuratum），我終於明白她的美如何引來眾多不法分子的貪慾。然而，她
正中央那片唇瓣就如一顆跳動中的心臟，當日最吸引我的眼睛，亦引起了我的熱愛和保護她們的決心。來近近細看，又退後兩步觀看，希望你都一樣可感受到她的「心跳」。
I still recall, on a warm sunny day in November, when I first encountered Hong Kong Lady’s Slipper Orchid (Paphiopedilum purpuratum). Its beauty might have attracted poachers’ greed, but it was its heart-like petal that caught my eyes, my love and devotion to protecting them. Either you are looking close or two steps further away, I hope you can feel its beating heart too.
