Biography
Dorothy Leung studied and worked in architecture before taking the headlong plunge into her illustration dream. In her work she strives to evoke empathy, nostalgia and wonder. When the Wind Came is her first book; The Bird Feeder is her second.~ ~A subtle, constant presence in Dorothy’s periphery, birds have always been a point of fascination for her. They remind her of adaptability, resilience, freedom, spirit and the passage of time. Dorothy lives near Tkaronto (Toronto), Ontario.~Twitter: @doroleung~Instagram: @doroleung~Facebook: @doroleung
