Biography
Pamela Mei Yee Leung (b. Hong Kong 1962 - d. Whitstable, Kent, UK 2011) studied 3-D Design at Middlesex Polytechnic before taking a post-graduate diploma in ceramics at Goldsmiths' College. Leung worked in London for 15 years, making ceramic sculpture, which was exhibited extensively in Britain and abroad. Her figurative work fused the influence of Eastern mythology with Western folk tales whilst conveying autobiographical meanings. She also made elaborate and highly decorative functional pieces such as jugs, fountains, doorknockers, incense burners and, more recently, birdcages. After a long period of illness, she moved her studio to Whitstable in Kent. Towards the end of her life she made sculpture in bronze at the Meltdowns Art Foundry in Ramsgate.
