Artist Statement:
Painting is a powerful
language in which I express
myself and communicate. The
message within each painting
is an illustrated element or
aspect of my life. I paint the
moments that capture me – the
beautiful and the painful –
for the exquisiteness of any
moment can make me cry, and
then I paint. Sketching and
drawing are tools of my
vocabulary with which I
discover and reveal my
thoughts and feelings, and
when I forget that I am making
art – when I am purely
communicating – I am free.
I am a Vietnamese-born artist
now living in Arlington, VA. I
have experimented with many
different mediums over fifteen
years, and I enjoy working
with watercolor, ink, oil, and
acrylic. My paintings have
changed dramatically and are
now infused with gold and
earth tones – mythology’s
colors of the spirit world.
