Colours of Stories: An Exhibition of Paintings by Jeanie Leung
For the first time the Library will stage an art exhibition of a HKUST graduate student’s works in our G/F Gallery.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Jeanie Leung worked in the banking industry for several years after earning a business degree from HKUST. Her childhood dream of becoming an artist went unrealized until she left her stable job to pursue a new life as a full-time painter in 2009 – though she had never received formal art training.
