Being a person born and raised in Vietnam, who also studied in Russia and lived in the US, has given me the opportunity to live and travel through numerous countries and be exposed to multiple cultures. I started painting when I was a little girl. My passion for art truly came to life in 2001 when I moved to Moscow to study industrial design. Seven years in school with lessons in paintings, graphics, sculpture, photography… sowed in me a love for arts and rendered arts a part of my life. In 2010, my family and I moved to the US to settle down in Washington D.C.
