Manny Yip is a Hong Kong artist. She grew up in a small village, where she discovered her interest in collecting antiques and ethnology since her youth. Her works capture her childhood and past experiences, reflecting her thoughts on identity and her longing for ideals. Her works highlight the forgotten, the trivial and the overlooked, expressing the abstract and open interpretation of space through reunions in the form of paintings and installations.

In 2017, she obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University. She was awarded the "Hong Kong SAR Government Scholarship, Reaching Out Award" (2017), including artist residency programs in Bulgaria and Chicago; and the "Hong Kong Arts Development Council Emerging Artists Scheme" (2019) that supported the exhibition “A Place in Time”. Yip was invited by the House of Hong Kong Literature to collaborate with writer Wong Bik-wan's literary works to participate in the "Between Departure and Return: Literature x Visual Arts Exhibition" (2020). She was interviewed by the 50th Hong Kong Arts Festival for her painting and new media collaboration work "A Bit of Memory" (2021). In 2022, she was selected as an outstanding student by Targeted Taught Postgraduate Programmes Fellowships Scheme that allowed her to pursue the postgraduate programmes at the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University.
