Mimi Leung
Monday 5 August, 10-11AM
Coinciding with her exhibition, Growing up with you, join artist Mimi Leung for a talk exploring her illustrative practice and themes underpinning the work.
Growing up with you explores both Leung’s relationship with her art practice, and with her children – reflecting on how her attitudes to art and her own practice have changed as she has grown up and had kids.
Born in Hong Kong and growing up in England, Mimi studied graphic design at Central St. Martins and later went on to complete an MA in Communication Art and Design at the Royal College of Art in 2007. Now based in Shepparton, north east Victoria, she maintains a prolific practice as a multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, animation and illustration. Her work “explores identity, belonging and using art to understand and transcend the mundanity of daily life.” Mimi’s commercial clients have included Transport For London, Disney Australia, Samsung, Slurpee, and The New York Times.
