In contemporary times, female art is gradually seen as an independent branch of art. Seal carving is a world intangible cultural heritage and an important part of Chinese art. Female seal-carving artists, against such a backdrop, are exhibiting their own charm with a tint of Chinese characteristics. This paper intends to give an outline of female seal carving in China and its development process. It then explores its artistic features with examples of contemporary female seal-carving artists, such as Luo Pengpeng and Yin Fenghua. In the end the problems confronting the female group will be discussed and their way out.
