Shum Kwan Yi, Sim graduated with a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) from the Department of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University, and completed a semester exchange at Nagoya Zokei University of Art & Design, Japan. Shum’s practice focuses on ink art, through which she explores the contemporary relevance of traditional landscape painting, transforming it into a symbolic language. Her works weave together personal and collective social narratives, addressing themes of societal constraint and displacement.

Her works have been exhibited multiple times at Art Basel and are included in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford. In 2022, she received the Bronze Award at the Liu Kuo-sung Ink Art Award. Her solo exhibition The Unbearable Lightness (2022) was recognised with the D&AD Wood Pencil, New York ADC Bronze Cube, Tokyo TDC, Golden Pin Design Award, and Asian Design Silver Award. In 2024, her publication Dust and Cicada Chirping received the Golden Pin Design Award, New York ADC, and Asian Design Merit Award. In recent years, Shum has actively participated in community art projects, including the "Hong Kong House" at the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale in Japan (2025), "Art Kuk Po" (in collaboration with the Centre for Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, University of Hong Kong, 2024), the "Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival" (2023), and "Lamma Mia" (2021), continually exploring the possibilities of ink art and community engagement.
