About Karen Cheung

Karen Cheung, known by her illustrator name Karen Aruba, is a self-taught Hong Kong artist dedicated to preserving the artistry of traditional mahjong craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from her family’s multi-generational legacy in the mahjong making industry, her passion has resulted in extraordinary artworks that honor the tradition of hand-carved mahjong tiles. […] Karen has curated exhibitions and led global workshops, playing a vital role in revitalizing this "vanishing art" to a modern audience. Notably, her design theme, “The Mahjong Wanderlust – Hong Kong”, has been featured in the Wereldmuseum in the Netherlands and the Macao Museum. The name "Karen Aruba" carries a personal history: as a young child, Karen lived in Aruba for a year with her parents and maternal grandmother.
