Chloe Cheng Cao uses delicate strokes of pencil, colored pencil, and  charcoal on paper, canvas, and transparent materials to explore the  subtle and deep connections between nature and living beings. Her work  crosses cultural and language boundaries, revealing an interconnected  world of ecology.

She focuses on the habits of plants and animals and the marks they leave  on their surroundings, expressing a universal experience of life — one  of essence, resonance, and reflection. By layering dots, lines, and  planes, Cao builds rich, textured spaces that abstractly capture the  movements and changes found in nature.

Her approach not only helps viewers feel a stronger emotional connection  to the natural world but also invites them on an introspective journey,  where they can experience the peace and harmony that nature offers.  Through layers of marks and translucent materials, Cao breaks down the  traditional boundary between viewer and artwork, creating a space that  blends memory, observation, and her research into natural phenomena.
