Han Cao is a self-taught fiber artist based in Dallas, Texas. Using hand embroidery on vintage photographs and postcards, she reimagines narratives with intricate thread. Influenced by her Vietnamese upbringing and early exposure to textiles through her mother's work as a seamstress, Cao's art explores memory, nostalgia, and identity.
Her work has been exhibited in solo shows at the Museum of the Southwest (Midland, TX) and Paradigm Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), as well as in a variety of group exhibitions across the United States, including at the Delaware Contemporary and the Art Academy Museum. Her pieces are held in private collections around the world.
