Born and raised in Hong Kong, Rainbow Leung graduated from the School of Design of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the School of Creative Media of the City University of Hong Kong, majoring in design and film. Aside from her own creative work, she also teaches art. She established Rainbow Life Discovery Garden in 2016. It teaches students of all ages how to discover the emotions of life through artistic creations. In 2017, Leung was commissioned by the project, M+ROVER, of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority to visit different schools, where she listened to stories of different youngsters. From their stories, she drew their “imperfect portraits” to promote the importance of caring for lives, and redefine the standards of beauty and ugliness. For this project, Leung won the Award for Arts Education from the Hong Kong Art Development Council in 2017.
