I could find no reference to a modern artist named "Seeng Moy" but did
find many references to a modern artist name "Seong Moy." Given that
I have seen many typos on this site, I am going to go ahead and answer
your question. If I have erred in my judgement, please ask for
clarification and I will research Seeng Moy.
According to Biography.com, "Moy, Seong 1921 -- Graphic artist; born
in Canton, China. He and his family emigrated to St. Paul, Minnesota
(1927). He studied at the St. Paul School of Art (1936--40), the Art
Students League (1941--42), and at the Hans Hofmann School, New York
(1941--42). He taught at numerous schools and is known for his
expressive and abstract color woodcuts, such as Classical Horse and
Rider (1953)."

Seong is also mentioned in an article, "woodcut and wood engraving.
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001"
"As photographic technology advanced, photography and photographic
processes slowly replaced woodcut as a means of book illustration and
wood engraving for reproduction of oil paintings. In the 1890s in
France a revival of woodcutting to produce original prints was
initiated by Paul Gauguin, Edvard Munch, and Felix Vallotton, who cut
their blocks themselves. Their influence on 20th-century expression in
this medium was enormous. Derain, Dufy, and Maillol also made notable
woodcuts. After World War II many artists in the United States, such
as Leonard Baskin, Sue Fuller, and Seong Moy, explored new formal and
technical possibilities in the medium of woodcutting."
