June 2013 Show at Starbucks- University Art Walk

Artist Statement:

During my fourth winter of university, I travelled with my classmates to the suburbs of Hanoi to an old village called Cự Đà. The cool and humid air of winter in northern Vietnam always creates a magical feeling. Blue smoke emitting out of kitchen chimneys, the toiling of black-toothed and white-haired old lady street vendors that I can never forget. The roads in the village were so narrow, still made with the same red bricks lain during the French colonial era. Homes made of solid beehive-style bricks were still preserved after decades of bombs, rain, and sun. I imagined those “good old days” of my parents, and their parents as the scenery and I began a slow and steady romance.
Enjoy.

May 20th 2013 - Telling a Story

My husband always says that each painting has to have a story: "people don't just see a painting itself, but also want to know the story behind it." One of my Mekong Delta works made such connection with a new owner who was able to rediscover her own Vietnam story.

April Show at Starbucks - Mekong Delta



April Show at Starbucks-Mekong Delta VietNam

4555 University Way NE SeattleWA 98105



Artist Statement:


I went to the Mekong Delta a few times during school. Its beauty is simply enchanting. Today I want to show you some of the paintings I made during my time in Sông Đốc  town, Cà Mau province. In Vietnam, we consider this place the “southern tail” of the country. Most people there earn their living as fishermen. Locals are always so friendly and kind. 

Enjoy.
