Bio

I’m an artist and curator born in Hanoi, Vietnam, currently based in Houston, U.S.A. My primary medium are watercolor and egg tempera. Through transparent color washes and voyeuristic compositions, I reveal my perspective as an outsider– a diasporic Vietnamese, a queer and neurodivergent person– who relies on memories to anchor them in the present world.

I received my Master’s in Museum Studies at San Francisco State University (SFSU) in 2017, with a focus on Curation and Education. My thesis is “Arts and Society: How Vietnamese Independent Arts Organizations Serve and Impact Communities.” I received my B.A in Studio Arts at SFSU with a focus on Sculpture and Painting in 2014.  Outside of art, I am a behavior therapist at an autism clinic. 

I produce much of my work on land stewarded by the Muwekma Ohlone people (San Francisco, CA) and land originally stewarded by the Tāp Pīlam Coahuiltecan and the Sana band (Cypress, TX).
