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.

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. ...
