Leo Jacqueline (Leo Jac) Freelance Artist/Designer/Art Workshop Facilitator and Founder of the Global Arts Outreach Project.

I am a Mixed Media Artist who views art as a vital force for fostering positive personal and social change. I believe art can be used as a platform for building cross cultural dialogue, offering empowerment and healing.

I hold a BA Honours in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, a BA Honours Degree in Steiner Waldorf Education from the University of Plymouth, a Master of Arts in Professional Writing from the University of Falmouth, and a TEFL from Boston College Cape Town.

During COVID-19, I obtained a Diploma in Fashion at Hong Kong Fashion Project ITS, where I was awarded First Place in the categories of Sustainable Fashion, and Designer’s Creation, gaining a scholarship for further study at Fashion Project ITS.

During the pandemic, I exhibited a virtual exhibition at Sense99, and also Brouhaha 3D Virtual Gallery, joining international artists in 2022 to raise money for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. In the same year I exhibited Second Nature exhibition, at the Reading Room Hong Kong, exhibiting again in 2023 with Brouhaha, to raise money for the Turkey, Syria Earthquake Appeal.

I have facilitated workshops for youth in underserved communities throughout Asia; including Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Cambodia, South Korea and Hong Kong, with Global Arts Outreach Project and I have showcased designs, notably during Hong Kong Refugee Week 2023, where I helped facilitate workshops, an exhibition, and a Fashion Show.
