Liaung Chung Yen graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2001, and went on to work as a gold smith. He received a fellowship from New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) in 2005, Finalist in NICHE Awards and 2nd place in MJSA Vision award in Natural Colour Diamond Category in 2007. He is featured in the Metalsmith magazine Exhibition in Print 2007, 1000 Rings, 500 Brooches, and 500 Earrings. He has participated in a number of exhibitions, including The International Expositions of Sculpture Objects and Functional Art (SOFA).

By using metaphor in his design, he thinks of his jewelry as small expressions of art, desire, wit and sensuality. He also sees it as small sculptures, documenting the time and emotion. His latest work is to explore the ability of line and pattern to create structure, form and motion.
