Michelle Chun is a visual maker born and raised in Southern California. She approaches her practice both as an embodied meditation on theological concepts and also as a form of investigating the idea of "histories."

She is currently a HATCH resident at the Chicago Arts Coalition and a Teaching Artist in Residence at Lillstreet Art Center.
