Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

most paintings were inspired by old Chinese poems, though some were inspired by poems written by friends, or sometimes, by myself
- it was my constant attempt to introduce at least one oriental elememt in the works, be it oriental poem as source of inspiration, or oriental calligraphy as form, or as brushworks, or as spiritual force, or as ideas in order to give an insight different from one who is inspired by orientalism yet rooted in western roots. As an oriental with oriental roots, yet takes inspiration from the Orient not from a western ground, yet expressed in western terms in order for a continued linkage of western -eastern pictorial dialogue to develop
