Siu Wai Hing (b.1955) has shown a keen interest in Chinese culture since childhood, especially in Chinese ink painting and traditional paper cutting.  She graduated with a higher diploma in Chinese Ink Painting at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.  Siu started her unique style of innovative artwork in Chinese ink painting under the close supervision of Master Liew Come Tong and Mentor, Chan Shing Kau. Afterwards, She applied the painting techniques to her traditional Chinese paper-cutting artworks, equipping her artworks with traditional Chinese culture. Her unique style and skilful hands made the creations believable. The main tools used in paper cutting are scissors, engraving knives, and art knives. Some creators may also use other auxiliary tools such as pliers, hole punches, hammers, etc. However, Siu only uses a pair of scissors to complete the entire artwork from beginning to end.

Siu communicated continuously with well-known Chinese paper cutters, including Lu Xue, Yao Hongxia and Li Yunxia. She has been the tutor of the Chinese Arts Papercutting Association and participated in a variety of education jobs for over ten years. She worked tirelessly to help spread Chinese traditional paper-cutting art culture and cooperated with diverse organizations, namely the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), Hong Kong Museum of History, Hong Kong Wetland Park, Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China, The Education University of Hong Kong and YMCA etc.

Siu was the president of the Hong Kong Contemporary Innovative Ink Painting Association. Her artworks were invited to join both Mainland and overseas exhibitions and were awarded in the Chinese ink painting exhibition. Most of them are collected by diverse cultural organizations in Mainland China.
