She enjoys using ink to paint animals in nature, using gongbi to create portraits, and depicting scenes of everyday life in loving detail.
Lai's artworks have been shortlisted for the Sovereign Asian Art Prize and have won the Hong Kong Contemporary Art Award and the Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards in 2009 - Young Artist Award.
