Michell Lie was born in 1973 in Hong Kong. Educated in the States majoring in business, minoring in illustration at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. Pursuing a life long career in advertising and branding agencies, in 2017 Michell begun her weekend hobby as self-taught ink artist aiming to groom this interest into something philanthropic. Her goal is to make art affordable, charitable and enjoyable, raising funds for the city's senior folks; creating awareness amongst her social circle the importance of pursuing passion project alongside full time career is something worth dedicating lifelong.

​

Regarding her most recent series, Lie said, "My new collection is about The ripple of hope and joy. My art is like an object that is dropped in the vast ocean, although small in size, it creates a rippling effect that extends outward that keeps growing and expanding. This is made possible because there is hope and believing that kindness prevails and love conquers."
