# Wong Chi Hang Sara

Wong Chi Hang Sara (黃志恆; born 1968) is a Hong Kong–based visual artist and landscape architect. Wong graduated with a BA degree in Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1992 and an MA in Landscape Architecture from the University of Hong Kong.
Wong was born in Hong Kong. She was one of the founding members of Para Site, a Hong Kong gallery and organisation dedicated to contemporary art forms which opened in 1996.
