Context

Mao Projects first started as a small fun side project based on Mao's research-creation during her Master of Fine Art but has since expanded to become an official business founded by Mao (Kun) Chen and partner Chris Savage. Both are visual artists and instructors who met while pursuing MFA degrees and have exhibition records within Canada, the UK, and China.
