Mei-Yee Leung,Pamela

My work has been primarily formed by my dual cultural background. I was brought up in both Hong Kong and Britain. I have been influenced by both Chinese traditional ceramic sculpture and European art. Originally my subject matter came from Chinese mythology, but as time passed I have created my own mythology.
