Florence Chen is a contemporary mixed-media artist based in Hockessin, Delaware. Working primarily with paper quilling and mixed media, she constructs intricate, layered works that begin with familiar subjects and reward slow, sustained looking. Her practice explores the gap between a first glance and what reveals itself when you stay longer: complexity hiding inside the ordinary. Chen's work is currently on view in a solo showing at ArtSource@ Gallery at The Delaware Contemporary (June–August 2026).
