Chao creates his miniature sculptures with polymer clay, acrylic, basswood, paper, wire, and painstaking precision. He creates a delicate balance in his sculptures by showing enough detail to illicit amazement and yet enough imperfection to reveal that they’re lovingly handmade.

Nature weaves its magic throughout Chao’s artwork, where lush forests teem with vibrant plants, lively animals, and intricate insects. He captures the serene beauty of freshwater scenes and the mysterious life lurking underground, inviting viewers into a world brimming with wonder. Each piece pulsates with movement, allowing a single moment to feel alive and captivating.

As viewers immerse themselves in Chao’s work, it's hard to miss the spark of awe in their eyes as they explore the minute details, culminating in genuine smiles as they step away. His intent to sprinkle a bit of joy into the lives of others clearly resonates, proving that art has the power to transform, even in the smallest of ways.
