She remained at Chongqing University as a mathematics instructor until 1990, when she moved to Australia.

She began painting seriously around 2002, and studied fine arts at the Meadowbank campus of the Northern Sydney Institute of TAFE, from which she received a diploma in 2003.

Xie's work is also represented in public and private collections in Australia, China, the UK, and the US.
