Lai Garling, born in Australia and raised in Hong Kong. She began her textile art journey in London, Chelsea College of Art. She specializes in weaving, an old traditional form of textile production that interlaces two distinct sets of yarn to form a fabric.
In mid 2016, Garling became a Hong Kong Youth Square art ambassador to travel to Dunhuang. Meeting local artists and conservators who specialize in grottoes art. Since that encounter she started to share her art and cultural journey through her social media.

She has been carrying cyanotype tools to Southeast Asia and Taiwan, holding workshops while learning from the locals. She has participated in international art festivals in Kuching, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Hong Kong.
