I’m a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, fashion, and curation, with a practice rooted in storytelling, cultural identity, and personal resilience. Originally from Vietnam and now based in the UK, I draw on memory and lived experience to explore themes of transformation, healing, and inner strength through visual form.

While I now focus primarily on painting, my earlier work involved creative direction in fashion and collaborating closely with photographers — alongside experience in front of the camera as a model and appearances in film and television. These roles have shaped how I approach visual storytelling, composition, and emotional expression.

My work has been shown in the UK and Southeast Asia, including a group exhibition in Lincoln and an independent project in Ho Chi Minh City. That project was inspired by a Vietnamese folktale about fish transforming into dragons, combining fashion, portraiture, and community engagement through artist interviews exploring identity and creative journeys in the city. In a separate collaboration, patterns from my paintings were developed into fabric and featured in a fashion collection for Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam.

Through my current AA2A residency, I’m developing a new body of work that reflects on themes of silence, displacement, and transformation amid complex emotional experiences. Painting has become a way to process and give shape to these states — revealing strength, resilience, and quiet growth. As a single parent, this opportunity offers valuable time and support to reconnect with my practice and grow within a supportive creative community.
