Frances Bick-Yue Wong was born in Hong Kong. From an early age she was interested in Chinese art, and studied calligraphy and painting with Mr. Lin Chen-Shieh and Mr. Chao Shao-On.

She further pursued the study of ceramics and sculpture and became a student of the classical oil painter Chen Shou-Soo. In 1961 she returned to Hong Kong and began her career as an art consultant. Her many commissions have included: The Mandarin Hotel, The Princes Building, Statue Square, The Excelsior Hotel, the Hong Kong Hotel, and numerous private residences.

Moving to Milan in 1978 she furthered her education at the Brera Academy of Art.
