She graduated with a Master of Fine Art from the National Art School in 2016 and was awarded the Emerging Artist Prize at the 65th Blake Prize in 2018. Leung has exhibited in Australia and internationally, and has completed artist residencies in the UK, Taiwan, and Australia.

Leung’s work spans video, sound, painting, sculpture, and installation, and is deeply informed by her personal experience and academic background. She draws on a wide range of theoretical frameworks to explore complex themes such as identity, immigration, cultural hybridity, and the construction of cultural narratives in a way that is both accessible and powerful.
