Old Family Portrait Oil pastel on canvas: 40" x 50"

The painting was finished in 2014 and it was inspired by an old family photo which was taken in 1994, 1st day of Luna New Year Saigon, Vietnam when I was two year-old. It took me around a year to finish it. I thought I would like to preserve that memory for us to have something to remember of this house and those time that my parents, siblings and I spent together under this very place that once called home.

Teddy & Ducky Oil pastel: 48" x 60"

This painting portraiting a relationship with my partner. I recalled those times when my partner and I have always loved to accompany each other, including ours three cats, whenever we need a moment of comfort, and supported from one another.

My Father's portrait Oil pastel: 30" x 50"

The Vietnam War was long over but what it did to a man was nothing but scars in his soul, and lives that was forever lost and might have been forgotten.

I painted my father who was an army officer for the Southern Vietnam Military during the Vietnam War. Since I was little, I’ve always seen him with a cigarette which offten stuck between his fingers; Then, he’d casually tell us stories of what its like after the War was over, what it did to a country as a whole and to a man as an individual.

This painting inspired by one of the moment I recalled I caught my father dived deep into his thought while telling my siblings and I the events he had been through during the war.

Special thanks to my father as an inspiration for this painting

My cats Oil pastel on canvas: 48" x 48"

The very first painting with my cats. I was lucky to have met Beejoo, my former housemate’s cat who taught me how to be a cat person, as I later adopted 3 other cats (Noel, Moon, and Milo) with my boyfriend. This painting is obviouslly inspired by them, and with endless fun and loving companionship they have given me that I very much appreciate it.
