Polly (Miu Yee Kwong) is an experienced art educator specializing in dementia care, particularly for Alzheimer's patients. With over 15 years of experience, she has explored the transformative power of art in cognitive health. After earning a master’s degree in art appreciation in the UK, she has been organizing art classes with Alzheimer’s patients with the Hong Kong Alzheimer’s Association and other non-profit making organizations in Hong Kong since 2010. In 2014, she organized The Magic of Art, one of Hong Kong’s largest exhibitions, showcasing 100 artworks by 60 Alzheimer’s students. Her students come from diverse backgrounds, including homemakers, accountants, executives, school principals, business leaders, and professors—among them Nobel laureate and "Father of Fibre Optics” Professor Charles Kao.

In 2023, Polly relocated to Vancouver to pursue a second master’s degree in leadership while continuing her research and volunteering with Minds in Motion, a program by the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. Her research examines how servant leadership enhances facilitators’ ability to deliver effective art interventions. Moving forward, she remains committed to advancing art interventions for dementia care through innovative methods and ideas.
