It’s always interesting to watch how art affects him. Pedro is a very outgoing man, always with many stories to tell, whether about the changes he's witnessed in his native Santa Ana, or about the current goings on with the neighbors. But, when he falls deep into his work, Pedro will go all evening with hardly a peep.

Here, my mother reaches for the virtues that fortify her, helping to loosen the burden that strives to dishearten her by its mighty weight. Although Love can ease our own burdens, it is also the same matter that makes us willing to help carry the burden of others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1552116241903-PR7Y7X2X5M5TUXF6YV31/Reaching+for+Things+Unseen.jpg Paint Reaching for Things Unseen - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1552116248212-7OHBVCZE6KCG3RV8GOI2/_20161214_190625.jpg Paint Reaching for Things Unseen - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1638039522888-XR6DK6S83P7XRUTROWNG/Let+Us+Run+1800.png Paint Let us run with patience the race that is set before us. 2019, oil on canvas, 60 x 72” I began this painting shortly after my sister, Kelly, passed in July 2017 after seven long years of battling cancer. She was thirty-seven. Throughout it all, she lived her life with a vigorous passion that continues to inspire many. I cradle in my palms a lifeless bird that has finally been released from the great adversity that she endured, as represented by the mighty water buffalo. The rest of us are left here to toil the earth still. Though this may mean facing further adversity, we have been given more time to unearth the connections that make for a life fulfilled, like cultivating the relationships with our fellow survivors and discovering our place in world. As life continued and the painting developed over time, it still held upheld the narrative of freedom, but collected more layers of meaning. As we’ve sat with refugee community members and their sons and their daughters to somehow help bring comfort to the families in this plight, these gatherings have incited an unceasing prayer for deliverance: Let our people go. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight…and let us run with patience the race that is set before us… —Hebrew 12:1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1552116284300-5ULT4012CJ3AL0PMDONG/20190211_104130.jpg Paint Let us run with patience the race that is set before us - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1552117614646-IATX218611J068OR1JP2/20190227_153504.jpg Paint Gathering Light, 2019, oil on canvas, 47 x 72” Collection of P.Q. Phan and Anvi Hoang, Bloomington, IN It may be that one of the most extraordinary opportunities in life is also one of the most difficult—to arrive in a place of darkness, and somehow be able to hold the confidence that light dwells somewhere therein. Adding to this challenging task is the obstacle of collecting the light wherever we may find it, claiming it as our own, and sometimes even passing it onto those around us. As we find ourselves in darkness, our need for light has a way of expanding our periphery. The light that once may have been positioned out of sight begins passing through the fringes of our broadened vision, and we find ourselves equipped with the ability to see it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1552117621916-FMNIJ45IRT9YG0R4Y7I0/20190227_153514.jpg Paint Gathering Light - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1665078449231-ZHKZ2HFYS9IYC7DL3TF2/Website+2.png Paint How long until they fade, 2022. In memory of Jenny. Acrylic, hand embroidered thread inherited from Bà Ngoại and Bi, joss paper, and oil on canvas. 36 x 48”. Collection of L. Johnson, Long Beach, CA While examining our scars, we might ask ourselves How long until they fade? As we witness illness and death around us, we can pause and look to our own scars for encouragement as they remind us of our own survival. We might also ask How long until they fade? in a deep yearning to remember the stories of those who came before us—the ones who have been etched into our being, intrinsically informing our lives in ways known and unknown. In 2015, I began this painting for my friend Claudia, who filmed me on a vintage 1970s camera for her personal project. Although I did not paint the portrait of anyone in particular, it reminded me of Claudia’s face long after she left. Without a sure story or concept, the painting was left undone. Seven years later in September 2022, I revisited the painting just weeks after my dear friend Jenny died from cancer. It now began looking like a self-portrait in deep mourning. The stitches on the portrait, embroidered with threads that I inherited from my late great-auntie, late grandmother, and late cousin Bi, appear and disappear, like the ebbing and flowing of memory. They serve as sutures to aid in our recovery after immense loss, while also exposing the scars that are evidence of survival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1665078087797-OEQF4G520YOV7ZBR2J7E/_20221002_081808.jpg Paint How long until they fade, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1665078090540-BSBYGHZWPL4S7LUBW98F/_20221002_081819.jpg Paint How long until they fade, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695312376081-DMR0ZSC254YVE0V8SBKE/1.png Paint Then are the Children Free, 2023, oil and thread on canvas, 48 x 60”. Commissioned by Oceanside Museum of Art, Oceanside, CA. Collection of Mr. and Mrs. T. Tran and L. Cartwright, San Jose, CA. A prayer for the ones who are suffering. Barefoot and draped in a ragged garment, a child grieves her deprivation as no child ought. As nations navigate through our crises, we cradle an enduring hope for the ones who are suffering in the circumstances and aftermath of wars, and for the ones who bear witness, that this hope might free us. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. - Romans 8:18 Here, the dove–a symbol of peace, innocence, and purity–comes to the aid of the child in her affliction. The hand-embroidery is stitched with threads that I inherited from Bà Ngoại, my late grandmother, and Bi, my late cousin. They appear and disappear like the ebbing and flowing of time, ushering us into recovery, marking our bodies and souls as evidence of our survival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695312385264-9QMKUH7Z0A4GFXZPN4L0/4.png Paint Then are the Children Free, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1489430102093-E3UWBK02DLWV3J42KJ0P/_IMG_8244.jpg Paint Bà Ngoại (Grandmother), 2011, oil and acrylic on canvas, 48 x 48” Collection of Dr. Tin Do, San Francisco, CA Often emphasizing the importance of compassion, forgiveness and empathy, my grandmother is one of the loveliest individuals I have ever known.

To further examine the connections between elements of language, such as the relationship between letter to letter and word to word, I have hand-stitched the following Vietnamese phrases: Mất Nước translates to “loss of country”. Nước Mắt translates to “tears”. Mất Mát translates to “loss of everything”.

In faith, they left their homeland in order to begin a new life in America, with the desire to give their future generations an opportunity to advance. Their sacrifice became our gain. This painting is an expression of my gratitude for the creative, intellectual, and physical freedom I have experienced, and for the people and the country who allowed me this opportunity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380251193413-160080VPNLQKUFAKWFTB/Ba+Co+Noi+Cua+Me+%28Mother%27s+Paternal+Grandmother%29.jpg Paint Bà Nội Của Mẹ (Mother’s Paternal Grandmother), 2011, mixed media on canvas, 12 x 10” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380667818642-JIOW5272GU4WLSJ0T3KO/Ba+Co+Ngoai+%28Mother%27s+Maternal+Grandmother%29.jpg Paint Bà Cố Ngoại (Mother’s Maternal Grandmother), 2011, mixed media on canvas, 12 x 12” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1467348418196-8Z1Y3PD2N7QV89BJR12M/_A+Prayer+for+Anh+Duc.jpg Paint A Prayer for Anh Đức, 2010, Oil, acrylic and hand embroidery on canvas, 48 x 48” I recognize the gallant soldiers of past and present who have sacrificed their lives in battles for Freedom. From the South Vietnamese soldiers who stood their ground in honor of their people to those who have fought to defended their families, their beliefs and their nations. I honor the ones who have triumphed in their own personal wars. This portrait is an homage to my brother-in-law, Anh Đức, who following in the footsteps of his father, a general in the South Vietnamese army, spent a great deal of his life as a soldier at war. His latest tour in Afghanistan held our family in a lasting plea for his return home. Serving as a meditation, the words For Life are stitched repetitively as a shroud for him in this visual prayer. Rhythmically breathing in as I puncture the canvas and breathing out as I pull the thread, I ask for Anh Đức’s protection and commit to full faith that God heeds the cry of the children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380251225004-24AMPSTRSO0KKN5XY7GX/DSCN1853.JPG Paint A Prayer for Anh Đức - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1467348450655-0TKECA04BZ5M13SETU6W/_Hon+Minh+Hon+Minh.jpg Paint Hồn Mình Hơn Mình, 2012, Oil and hand embroidery on canvas, 48 x 48” Since antiquity, the laurel wreath has been a powerful symbol of victory. Here, my belovèd husband, exhausted from all that he has had to endure, wears the laurel wreath which he has earned through his unyielding Faith and perseverance. The hand stitching reads, “Hồn mình hơn mình” (pronounced “Hone ming hun ming”), a Vietnamese phrase that translates to “Our Spirit is greater than us.” Breathing in while puncturing the canvas and breathing out while pulling the thread, the physical rhythm created during the process of hand stitching assists me in mediating upon the subject at hand. This painting intends to be a reminder to all who have fallen short of breath during the battles which are essential to the life experience. A reminder to all that we shall triumph as we cultivate our inherent Will to overcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380252073215-HQD9HHKTW54CW6WZ4ABW/Study+of+a+Young+Girl+2010.jpg Paint Study of a Young Girl, 2010, mixed media on canvas, 24 x 24” Collection of Dr. Tin Do, San Francisco, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380252088990-2MSMBHBZZSV58IPD1HOT/Study+of+a+Young+Girl+-+Detail+8.jpg Paint Study of a Young Girl - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1605911258573-3G8IUJJ6K8QNY70POC01/What+Is+To+Come+2400.png Paint What Is To Come, 2006, oil on canvas, 48 x 36" This piece derives from a time that I observed my husband sitting for a long moment in a still contemplation. He had just returned home to us after serving time in federal and immigration detention centers after being convicted as an adult, while a juvenile, for a crime that he did not commit. As time went on, a painting that once captured a moment of worry had begun to change. With new beginnings, new opportunity, new growth, and a new life, the painting became a testament of hope and gratitude. Once a depiction of a man with head hung in despair, became one of a man filled with hope, head bowed in a prayer of gratitude. This piece holds a universal message: This too shall pass. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. - 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380667495069-11YPYPWAMX6RQLYTQY0R/Sua+Xua.jpg Paint Sữa Xưa (Milk of Old), 2012. Oil, acrylic, joss paper and hand stitching on canvas, 48 x 36” Collection of P.Q. Phan and Anvi Hoang, Bloomington, IN Proceeding Bà Cố Phủ (Mẹ Của Mẹ Của Mẹ Của Mẹ Của Me, 2012), in both a genealogic and pictorial sense, this painting is drawn from photos of my mother and great-grandmother. Continuing to explore the idea of abundance, I considered milk and its symbolism. Milk is the first form of nourishment that is offered to a newborn child, and represents fertility and God’s blessings. My great-grandmother, stoic and strong, prepares for the migration to the “land of milk and honey”. She holds my dear mother whose eyes fill with wonder and whose face beams toward a bright future. My mother willingly reaches out to catch her blessings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593845254704-ZM6MCY7BQAQGMB7I34KZ/Me+Cua+Me+Cua+Me+Cua+Me.png Paint Mẹ Của Mẹ Của Mẹ Của Mẹ Của Me (My Mother's Mother's Mother's Mother), 2012, Oil, acrylic, joss paper, ink and hand embroidery on canvas, 48 x 36" Inspired by a photo of my great-great-grandmother that I found impeccably preserved in my grandmother's photo album. While leafing through the pages of invaluable photos, I thought about how undocumented history risks being forgotten. As stories of old are passed down to the next generation, as photographs capture time and culture and space, as recipes are shared, as the youth learn to ask the important questions while the elders are still here to answer (and, I have learned, they can answer willingly and extensively), we can help perpetuate these very important details which effect the character than continues pacing through our veins from generations past. Bà Cố Phủ sits in her chair to rest her weary feet. As she considers her life experiences, her countless accomplishments, and the memories of raising three children and twenty-three grandchildren, the details of her fruitful life trickle down and gather abundantly at her feet. Traditionally, joss paper is burned in prayer for the ancestors, but here, I intend to preserve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380668789099-YAQV02OI04LPCXN37MZQ/Let+Us+Be+Vessels+2.JPG Paint Let Us Be Vessels, 2009, Oil, latex, and joss paper on canvas, 48 x 72" (diptych) Honorable Mention, Lauritzen-Rush Gallery, Marco Island, FL As I reflect upon my substance, I find that the answers most often come when I am willing to ask questions. Am I filling my self with constructive and harmonious intentions? And if so, how am I acting upon those intentions? An assembly of bottles congregate personifying humanity. The vessels stand tall and still, ready to be at service. Should they accept and assume responsibility, they become offerings to those in need. Amidst the vessels is a young boy, alone and destitute. He hides in his corner pulling wearily at his ragged garment. Although both panels can visually and conceptually stand as individual statements, they collaborate to compose the idea of responsibility, compassion, and the strongest form of faith - Love. Let us not love in the word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth. - I John 3:18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380668742521-5T7GXCQVOOS6AIRRY656/Beyond+These+Walls.jpg Paint Vượt Qua Rào Cẩn (Beyond These Walls), 2008, oil, latex, and joss paper on canvas, 48 x 60". Collection of Mrs. Claire Keery, Marco Island, FL A young girl peers out from behind the wall. She knows there is much awaiting her. This painting is about creating our own traditions, but at the same time, remembering our history and those places from where we have come. The red symbols abstractly spell out Vượt Qua Rào Cẩn in a traditional Chinese stamp motif. These stamps represent the transition from one place to the next- as would stamps on postcards, letters, or passports. They say, “I am here”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380667355375-M40HFQSKLDH3QYPSL1OV/2008+Even+in+Darkness+1.jpg Paint Even In Darkness, 2008, Oil, latex, and joss paper on canvas, 60 x 72" During the winter of 2006, my godmother sat at the dining table, practicing her Vietnamese calligraphy. With rice paper amassing upon the table, she patiently dipped her bamboo brush, one breath at a time, into the tray of rich black ink. Buông Xả Đi. Buông Xả Đi. Buông Xả Đi. This phrase, written repeatedly, blanketed the lace of Grandmother's table cloth as I watched quietly. Buông Xả Đi is a poetic Vietnamese phrase describing an exhalation of all negative emotion or thought which hinders the Spirit from growth. Each release provides Faith with a more fertile environment to mature into its natural Abundance. As man plays his melody, each inhale absorbs the Truth and Light, while each exhale releases every thought of dissolution, allowing every note to collaborate in a song of praise. The rhythm in which he breathes becomes the meter to which he plays his song. Even in the darkness he connects with light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593845741787-VONWZGWH5AQK20ETX1I5/Thirty+Days+2.png Paint Thirty Days, 2006, oil on canvas, 48 x 48”, diptych In 1975, my family found refuge on a Vietnamese naval ship while the communist regime invaded South Vietnam. After weeks at sea, the engine of the ship broke down. My grandparents and their children found themselves among hundreds of their fellow Vietnamese floating aimlessly at sea for about a month before an American naval ship rescued them. To board the ship, one by one, they crawled across a ten-foot rope ladder on their hands and knees, suspending above the surface of the ocean. As my mother recalls this life-altering event that took place when she was sixteen years old, she shares that although hundreds of people were in a potentially fatal situation, lacking food and water for an indefinite amount of time, the ambience on the ship was celebratory and hopeful. Everyone was thankful to have had escaped from the turmoil in the beginning stages of the fall of Saigon. This painting serves as an ode to my family, and those families who sought freedom, and acquired it through faith, hope, their vision of a life of promise, and the grace of God. The two panels represent their voyage from the East to the West, as the neutral green illustrates the water over which a rope ladder stretches. The ten faces are those of my mother, my four aunts, and my five uncles, one of whom died before being introduced to the new land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1522779412262-SEIE3JOHB3QKHE1ZJXAQ/During+the+Silence+.jpg Paint During the Silence, 2007, acrylic, joss paper, and oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380439707413-QATZE2F6QNK4YQ60RRYT/For+All+the+Women.jpg Paint For All The Women, 2007, mixed media on canvas, 60 x 48” Human beings are the most adaptable, resilient, and powerful creatures. Among them are the Women – the nurturers. This painting was inspired by a survivor of domestic violence. For years having been bound by the aggression of her abusive husband, a behavior which was accepted in her culture and religion, she made the rightful decision to leave and seek refuge in a local shelter. A prayer to the women who have made a choice to better their lives, to the women who have yet to make that choice, and to the women who assist their fellow women in making that choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380259370064-7H0FK5171CNZIIEUZGQS/On+Our+Way.jpg Paint On Our Way, 2007, mixed on canvas, 48 x 60” Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher and Susan Ausschnitt, Naples, FL This image, painted on a collage of joss paper (handmade paper traditionally burned in prayer in Vietnamese and Chinese cultures), was inspired by the immigrant story. On their journey to America, my husband and his family traveled through the jungles of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. During their escape from the Viet Cong, they encountered pirates and thieves, fought for their lives, and most were blessed to have survived. I created this piece while deeply considering our profound resistance as people. Two brothers, one carrying the other. They have experienced the wages of war. They have survived. And so they move forward. We all have triumphed over past afflictions, and with each trial, we recognize our resilience and our strength to move on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1522779603742-39LMBGTIYZZ2JDDMBV2A/Feeding+Her+Joy.jpg Paint Feeding Her Joy, 2003, oil on canvas, 48 x 60” A self portrait of me feeding Bà Ngoại ‘s (Grandmother) koi fish.

My grandparents were originally from Hanoi, property owners in North Vietnam. In 1954, when the communist regime took over the North, my grandparents migrated south to Saigon with their family, where they and their children could live in a democratic society, free to worship, speak, and live freely. Here they found their salvation for a time, until the the communists moved further south down to Sai Gon, resulting in my family’s escape. They left behind all material possession, their motherland, and the life they once knew, in order to seek freedom elsewhere—anywhere but here. This painting is dedicated to those who have sacrificed much in order to allow their loved ones these inherited freedoms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380259385324-GZCP0OQTB1JEYB8NG8EZ/Together+-+2011.jpg Paint Together, 2011, mixed media on canvas, 24 x 12” Collection of Mrs. Deanna Reposa Newport Beach, CA Three children hike through the jungle, searching for their way. Although their destination is undetermined, they continue on their path patiently and confidently. This painting is a reminder that although Life will lead us through unknown territory, the journey is far more edifying when we seek understanding together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593847323466-UO9MBZPYOIW57DBNONX6/Down+the+Current+of+Tradition+2.png Paint Down the Current of Tradition, 2011. Oil, acrylic and thread on canvas, 40 x 30". Collection of Jorge Camunas, New York, NY By examining my lineage, I find that I can more thoroughly investigate my life and better understand how it as been propagated by my ancestors. In the 1930’s, Ba Co, my great-grandmother, lived with her husband and their twelve children in the small town of Kien An, Vietnam. Because they lived next door to a church, they would often find abandoned babies on their doorstep. This was such a common occurrence that Ba Co built a small house (Grandmother likened it unto a tree house) to accommodate the infants they brought in, also hiring a nursemaid to help care for them. She called this transitional home “Nha Thien Than”, which translates to “The House of Angels.” Here, my grandmother would help prepare milk and feed the children before delivering them to the Nam Phat orphanage. A young girl kneels down, sending her paper boats down the stream. She gently grips the thread that ties together the generations, guiding them down the current of history and tradition. The paper boats continue their journey, like folded historical documents to be received, opened, read and absorbed. Like stories of old, passed down to preserve history, their hope is to incite the desire to alleviate the suffering of others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380439950599-05ORIYPMEIXU4729NUGZ/With+Childlike+Faith.jpg Paint With Childlike Faith, 2011, collage and oil on canvas, 60 x 48” Collection of Q. Tran, Redwood City, CA Every autumn I glorify the gingko leaves whose brilliant golden puddles spill upon our street - a seasonal reminder for us to shed our withering leaves in order to make room for new growth.

Collection of P.Q. Phan and Anvi Hoang, Bloomington, IN. I marvel at the wisdom of the birds. My lessons in persistence I learn from the swallows. Male and female swallows make over 1000 trips gathering mud and detritus to build their nests. They remind me that the mire of life plays a vital role in the construction of all things significant. In building her foundation, a girl collects her next stone. What she once considered as stumbling blocks, she now accepts as stepping stones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380259406416-OZFEJXO09ETHF0FLDUUP/We+Find+Strength.jpg Paint We Find Strength, 2008, mixed media on canvas, 60 x 48” Because koi fish swim against the stream, they symbolize strength in times of adversity. In times of struggle, I learn to trust my faith, and realize the infinite resources that I have available to me - these resources that are ever ready to lend themselves to a purposeful will, and help me materialize my desires into action, that may lead to the events and conditions that help lead to resolution. Through the process, I develop the Faith that provides me with the strength to overcome the obstacles that may appear in my path. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593847723541-KE1ZSXASM1HRHJEQ56FO/They+Come+For+Me.jpg Paint They Come For Me, 2009, Joss paper and oil on canvas, 40 x 90”. Collection of Mr. Patrick Probst and Mrs. Jocelyn Wong, Charlotte, NC Dream documentation on November 20, 2007: With treetops sheltering me, I wander through the grove in search of a site to create an environmental installation. I try peeling off a palm frond and weaving it into the tree trunk. I am unsuccessful. Perhaps I can dangle the vines from the thick branches above. I jump upon the ten-foot wall and make my way to the end of the brick ledge. Yes! A little niche presents itself – three perpendicular walls amidst the trees. I rejoice in discovering this perfect space in which to materialize my vision. Oh! I discover that I have already created an installation there… Streaming from one wall onto the next is an unblemished line of yellow leaves, standing side by side like soldiers prepared for whatever may come. The surrounding leaves are translucent – the majority of them white leaves, a few sporadic salmon leaves, all in communion to guard this sacred space. It is beautiful. It is my creation. And I am thankful. My moment is interrupted when a girl from below calls to me. She has something to show me. I jump off the wall, feet landing softly upon the ground. We hurry to the grove’s end. A broad beam of brilliant light shines through an aperture above, from which leaves fall generously. A young girl stands within the center of the light, waving her arms gracefully, summoning the leaves, and welcoming her blessings. Her bright eyes smile as her face bathes in the light of her Source. She gestures, “Yes. Come into this place.” The three walls of the niche are translated onto three canvases and also representing the sequence of the experience. On the first panel, the leaves (blessings) come. On the second, the hand reaches out, ready to receive. On the third, the elation upon acceptance of these gifts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379526541939-96UBCXBH331IDQ2IEYKI/2004+Above+All+Things.jpg Paint Above All Things, 2003, oil on canvas, 54 x 54” Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Ben and Ella Stewart, Venice, CA In painting this piece, I considered the most valuable things to me in life, none of which are tangible- my love for God and people, my understanding with them, and my recognition of the Omniscient among all things living. Under the blue skies lay large boulders, representing the physical and visible elements of the world. Above these boulders floats a glowing warmth from which I draw strength. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380439477891-PBELJN5T9BRL59OHC531/2004+Abundance.jpg Paint Abundance, 2004, oil on canvas, 30 x 48” Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Christine Hoang, San Francisco, CA I find comfort in considering the abundance that we’ve been granted. As we sew a seed, we promote life. And as we nurture that seed, we assist this life in its development and growth. We, in turn, reap the seeds this life produces. A seed, dropped into the ground, springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred more seeds, life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever becoming more, it must do so, if it continues to be at all. - Wallace D. Wattles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379526554867-1WEV2VFIXA0YY9JDE8D4/2004+And+There+Is+Light.jpg Paint And There Is Light, 2003, oil on canvas, 54 x 54" At times, it is easy for us to succumb to the negativity that the world may suggest, whether it be through circumstance, through the action of others, or through our own insecurities. This painting is an illustration of the two worlds in which we may choose to live. Two houses stand side by side in the glowing light of dusk. One house is dark, rooted in fear, doubt, and complacency. The other is built on the foundation of hope, illuminated by knowledge, faith, and confidence. A reminder that Light can penetrate even the darkest places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380439471747-0RA0254RSWSTR53N84EU/2004+Among+Us.jpg Paint Among Us, 2003, oil on canvas, 54 x 54” Collection of Mrs. Jamie Ross, Naples, FL Beginning as an abstract representation of an interior (a painting studio in which I spent countless hours), this painting evolved into a window into the spiritual and subconscious world that influences us deeply. What begun as large windows evolved into angelic figures, surrounding a central figure. This painting serves as a reminder that throughout the times we feel that we no longer have the strength to keep our light illuminated, there are forces both visible and invisible that will protect, guide, and strengthen us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379526576893-ZRD7KVIU3JJF2YG8AZ0E/2004+I+Am.jpg Paint I Am, 2004, oil on canvas, 60 x 72” Collection of Mr. Tin Do, San Francisco, CA I am. A recognition that all that I am, all that I will become, and all that I have the potential to be is a gift. As I am made in the image of my Creator, in the same in kind and likeness, I recognize within me the Omniscient, the Omnipresent, and the Omnipotent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379526605347-6AILXCR5FP36G2AO2GO7/2005+Ha+Long+Bay.jpg Paint Hạ Long Bay, 2004, oil on canvas, 72 x 60” Red sails guide a ship from east to west in Hạ Long Bay, located in the northern region of Việt Nam.

My dear cousin, who witnessed the war in Việt Nam as a child, often interprets the red marks in my paintings as violence. This painting was an attempt for me to create a painting in which the color red would convey positive emotion, as red for me, has always represented power. The painting began as a still life of vibrant flowers. As it evolved, a feline portrait appeared, strong and brave, and confirmed what I had personally felt about red—a color of courage, power, and assertiveness.

jars, labeled Heritage Red oak frame hand-built by artist, 20 x 16” Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Hà Xuân and Tâm Thị Lamm, San Jose, CA A song encompasses the family, nebulous like memories can sometimes be. Shared by their parents, the lyrics to the nostalgic love song, Tenderly, is penned in the handwriting of the children’s loving father, Hà Xuân. Behind them lies the coastline of Việt Nam, into which this family tree’s roots run deeply. Here, earth is used to render earth; the Motherland is created with the sand that has been collected from her coast. Like these grains of sand, they left Vietnam to begin a new life in America. The river overhead is a convergence of the multiple waterways which describe the chronology of Hà Xuân and Tâm Thị’s life course: the Perfume River that surges through Huế, Việt Nam, home of Hà Xuân’s parents; Sông Soài Rạp that swells east of Sài Gòn, Việt Nam, where the couple gave life to their first child; the Cu Đê River that streams east of Đà Nẵng, Việt Nam; the Arkansas River that flows just north of Fort Chaffee, AR, where the family began their lives on American soil in the refugee camp; the Santa Ana River that runs north of Loma Linda, CA; Newtown Creek which trickles north of Brooklyn, NY; and the Guadalupe River that courses through the heart of San, Jose, CA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1537638918325-L0TSJAQ1TCNTGSJOCGUH/2+Panel+I+-+Ba+Me+Anh+Chi+Em+2.jpg Commissions Nước Mình, Nước Mình (Our Water, Our Land), No. I, Ba Mẹ Anh Chị Em, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1597986953119-MIIPJQMLWVBZG3K3BHQ4/3+Panel+II+-+Hannah+1.png Commissions Nước Mình, Nước Mình (Our Water, Our Land), No. II, Hannah (Handful of Water Lilies), 2018 Acrylic, collage, gouache, ink, Pacific Ocean water, and orange sand from Vietnam on canvas Acrylic, ink, living plants, paper, rainwater and white and red sand from Vietnam in glass jars, labeled Heritage Red oak frame hand-built by artist, 20 x 16”. Collection of Mrs. Hannah Lamm, St. Louis, MO A song encompasses the Hannah, nebulous like memories can sometimes be. Shared by her parents, the lyrics to the nostalgic love song, Tenderly, is penned in the handwriting of her loving father, Hà Xuân. She collects a bouquet of water lilies--one for her parents and two more for each of her siblings. Because water lilies emerge out of the water in the morning and recede back into the water at noon, they symbolize the continual renewal of life. The horizon behind her, rendered with sand that has been collected from the coast of Vietnam, traces the border of Arkansas, where the family began their lives together on American soil in the refugee camp at Fort Chaffee after escaping a war-torn Vietnam in 1975. Like these grains of sand, they left Vietnam to begin a new life in America. The river overhead is a convergence of the multiple waterways which describe the chronology of Hannah’s life course: the Sông Soài Rạp that swells east of Sài Gòn, Việt Nam, where Hannah was born; the Cu Đê River that streams east of Đà Nẵng, Việt Nam; the Arkansas River that flows just north of Fort Chaffee, AR; the Santa Ana River that runs north of Loma Linda, CA; Newtown Creek which trickles north of Brooklyn, NY; the Guadalupe River that courses through the heart San Jose, CA; the sweeping San Diego River, CA; and the Mississippi River that surges east of St. Louis, MO, where Hannah currently lives with her husband and two sons. The two jars preserve the memories of she and her siblings and of their parents in earlier days. In the third jar, a pothos plant continues to grow as one of four kindred plants, the other three hanging from No. I, No. III, and No. IV of the Nước Mình, Nước Mình series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1537638933639-ME1QY59TSVDCRS4OHEBD/4+Panel+II+-+Hannah+2.jpg Commissions Nước Mình, Nước Mình (Our Water, Our Land), No. II, Hannah (Handful of Water Lilies), detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1597986954030-IJRSVK3P6G7LW7G64AP7/5+Panel+III+-+Chris+1+%281%29.png Commissions Nước Mình, Nước Mình (Our Water, Our Land), No. III, Chris with Vietnamese Greenfinches, 2018 Acrylic, collage, gouache, ink, Pacific Ocean water, and red sand from Vietnam on canvas Acrylic, ink, living plants, paper, rainwater and white and yellow sand from Vietnam in glass jars, labeled Heritage Red oak frame hand-built by artist, 20 x 16”. Collection of Mr. Chris Lamm, Rolesville, NC A song encompasses the Chris, nebulous like memories can sometimes be. Shared by his parents, the lyrics to the nostalgic love song, Tenderly, is penned in the handwriting of his loving mother, Tâm Thị. Vietnamese greenfinches perch upon the young boy. They symbolize bright days on the horizon due to their narrow, bright yellow collars. The horizon behind Chris, created with sand that has been collected from the coast of Vietnam, renders Brooklyn’s landline, where he and his family lived for three years while his father, Hà Xuân, worked through his medical residency. Like these grains of sand, they left Vietnam to begin a new life in America. The river overhead is a convergence of the multiple waterways that describe the chronology of Chris’s life course: the Sài Gòn River that swells east of Sài Gòn, Việt Nam, where Chris was born; the Cu Đê River that rushes east of Đà Nẵng, Việt Nam; the Arkansas River that flows just north of Fort Chaffee, AR; the Santa Ana River that runs north of Loma Linda, CA; Newtown Creek which trickles north of Brooklyn, NY; the Guadalupe River that courses through the heart San Jose, CA; the Huron River that sweeps through eastern Michigan, the streaming San Diego River, CA, and Harris Creek that flows through eastern Rolesville, NC, where Chris currently lives with his wife and two children. One jar preserves the memories of the family in earlier days. In the other, a pothos plant continues to grow as one of four kindred plants, the other three hanging from No. I, No. II, and No. IV of the Nước Mình, Nước Mình series. They have been clipped from the same mother plant. And although living apart, they grow steadily together still, with roots exposed as a reminder of their history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1537638943567-RUDLH3EBTYAZSXWX5F4R/6+Panel+III+-+Chris+2.jpg Commissions No. III, Chris with Vietnamese Greenfinches, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1537638939770-74U0JPONUZYVEBKKI6QE/7+Panel+III+-+Chris+6.jpg Commissions No. III, Chris with Vietnamese Greenfinches, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1597986966130-N0PZKORB5D5169KOGIIB/8+Panel+IV+-+Baby+Taryn+and+Family+1.png Commissions Nước Mình, Nước Mình (Our Water, Our Land), No. IV, Baby Tin and Family, 2018 Acrylic, collage, gouache, ink, Pacific Ocean water, and red sand from Vietnam on canvas Acrylic, ink, living plants, paper, rainwater and red and white sand from Vietnam in glass jars, labeled Heritage Red oak frame hand-built by artist, 20 x 16”. Collection of Mrs. Taryn Lamm, Portola Valley, CA A song encompasses the family, nebulous like memories can sometimes be. Shared by their parents, the lyrics to the nostalgic love song, Tenderly, is penned in the handwriting of the children’s loving mother, Tâm Thị. Rendered with sand, collected from the coast of Vietnam, is the coastline of California, along which they frequently traveled during family vacations in their light blue Volkswagon bug in the 1980’s. The horizon stretches from southern California—where their father, Hà Xuân, got re-credentialed for his medical degree—up to the San Francisco Bay—where the family lived as he became the second Vietnamese physician to open a private medical practice in San Jose. Like these grains of sand, they left Vietnam to begin a new life in America. The river overhead is a convergence of the multiple waterways that describe the chronology of Taryn’s life course: the Cu Đê River that rushes east of Đà Nẵng, Việt Nam, where Taryn was born; the Arkansas River that flows just north of Fort Chaffee, AR; the Santa Ana River that runs north of Loma Linda, CA; Newtown Creek which trickles north of Brooklyn, NY; the Guadalupe River that courses through the heart San Jose, CA; and San Francisquito Creek that streams through Portola Valley, CA, where Taryn currently lives with her husband and two sons. Two jars preserve the love that is shared between daughter and father as baby Taryn looks up adoringly at her father. In the third jar, a pothos plant continues to grow as one of four kindred plants, the other three hanging from No. I, No. II, and No. III of the Nước Mình, Nước Mình series. They have been clipped from the same mother plant. And although living apart, they grow steadily together still, with roots exposed as a reminder of their history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1537638952322-PUTZP7KIMKMJ2NIYCPF0/9+Panel+IV+-+Baby+Taryn+and+Family+2.jpg Commissions Nước Mình, Nước Mình (Our Water, Our Land), No. IV, Baby Tin and Family, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230214676-SLUB0F3H83OOOEXZVVYN/Hecho+de+Archilla+No.+1.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 1 Mi Tiempo en Brazil (My Time in Brazil) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230217010-JTMN81BBTRCCKJH7G8T9/Hecho+de+Archilla+No.+2.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 2 La Madre y Sus Hermanos (Mother and Her Siblings) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230250540-1LGQF591V8OL3E8INMWD/Hecho+de+Archilla+No.+3.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 3 Cuando Yo Tenía Un Año (When I Was One) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230258405-9PL92IJ8WV8I4KNPFQIJ/Hecho+de+Archilla+No.+4.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 4 La Madre y Sus Padres (Mother and Her Parents) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230063444-3F4OOPLY5IKJX3GE2SF0/Hecho+de+Arcilla+No.+5.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 5 El Amor de una Abuela (A Grandmother’s Love) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230078789-IKKSFWQWO9V9YVPFCFWT/Hecho+de+Arcilla+No.+6.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 6 Camila https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230021774-39AMAOE6JAT1LICRV7EO/Hecho+de+Archilla+No.+7.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 7 Hermanas en el Cuatro y Boyle (Sisters on Fourth and Boyle) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230106158-ISXET6KKKYFOOEZC3TCH/Hecho+de+Arcilla+No.+8.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 8 Abuelito (Grandfather) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230117752-WJHV6TKSXJDBPR4JQWTB/Hecho+de+Arcilla+No.+9.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 9 Los Jóvenes Primos (The Young Cousins) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230169035-9GDK25I0Q0TPVMHKBP2U/Hecho+de+Arcilla+No.+10.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 10 Mis Amados Padres (My Beloved Parents) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230015716-KF19XTZGBO0FCL3PU12Y/Hecho+de+Archilla+No.+11.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 11 Bisabuelita (Great Grandmother) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1431230168300-ZYYMYDHOLLCX83XRV5NM/Hecho+de+Arcilla+No.+12.jpg Commissions Hecho de Arcilla, No. 12 Abuelitos y Tio Frank Amoroso (Grandparents and Loving Uncle Frank) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1411656160988-R9OLEK2LR0J0F4W9YW9Y/Love+Letters+PNG.png Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1411660470893-7Z2ZO5AJ3LVUYT38RTUM/Love+Letter+No.+1+-+Dam+Tram+with+Tangerines.jpg Commissions Love Letter No. 1 (Dan Tam with Tangerines), 2014, Mixed media on papyrus and mylar, 6 ¾ x 4 ¾” Young Dan Tam stands under a tangerine tree, tangerines symbolizing abundant happiness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1411656173495-BZUWC0OZ36KXKXM0RROM/Love+Letter+No.+2+-+Emily+with+Bamboo+and+Butterfly.jpg Commissions Love Letter No. 2 (Emily with Bamboo and Butterfly), 2014, Charcoal, gouache, and ink on paper, ink on papyrus and mylar, 6 ¾ x 4 ¾” Emily finds shelter under a bamboo tree upon which a butterfly perches.

With palms to their reflections, they embrace the sanctity of a rainy day. Above them, a cloudy haze envelops this tranquil scene, a fog created by the children’s own handwriting. To prepare for this painting, I asked the boys to write some of their mother’s favorite quotes from The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which their parents frequently read to them during childhood. I embedded their writings into the painting, as notes written to their future selves of sorts, a reminder of some of life’s important details. Their handwriting reads: I wonder whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own. The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen. One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes. Only the children know what they are looking for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1394444532503-2T747N3OHCKDVHXHLA6G/Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+2.jpg Commissions Little Princes - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1394443683396-D24M5DPCF0TECGGY287L/Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+3.jpg Commissions Little Princes - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1394443832485-6QPJS0JQKHCSEB4TN9DZ/Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+4.jpg Commissions Little Princes - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1394443705348-81YFL40BN8YUCAZ1A9Q2/Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+5.jpg Commissions Little Princes - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1394443709999-4MH1VE3VIP870DBVY1K7/Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+6.jpg Commissions Little Princes - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1392752232672-I8M3COKR06BA26ME4H40/1+Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+installation+1.jpg Commissions Little Princes - installation, 2014, Acrylic, ink, paper, plant roots, and sand in jars, 4 1/2"height x 2"diameter, Collection of Robert and Taryn Lamm, Portola Valley, CA Originally, I had only planned to create a painting for the family, but after learning that their mother had been born in Saigon, I found it important to somehow incorporate the children’s Vietnamese heritage. When I asked about her childhood memories, she recalled collecting worms in jars with her siblings on the rain-soaked streets of Vietnam. Inspired by the idea, I decided to create a supplemental installation which encapsulates some of the family’s childhood photos into little jars. These pieces combine materials collected from both eastern and western shores. Here, the family members stand on Vietnamese ground, the sand collected from various areas off the coast of Vietnam. The corks have been handcrafted from the roots of the succulent plants which grow on the shores of the Pacific, a reminder to cherish our blessèd roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1392752232539-CLTPGVA846AHQ5360ZK2/2+Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+installation+No+1.jpg Commissions I Wonder Whether the Stars are Set Alight in Heaven No. 1 from Little Princes installation, 2014 Acrylic, ink, paper, plant roots, and sand in glass jar 4 ½” height x 2” diameter Underside reads: I wonder whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1392752219409-JXHOIB5GOIIGPMJDMT3R/3+Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+installation+No+2.jpg Commissions The Thing That is Important is the Thing That is Not Seen No. 2 from Little Princes installation, 2014 Acrylic, ink, paper, plant roots, and sand in glass jar 4 ½” height x 2” diameter Underside reads: The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1392752219163-PNMLQTKOTL4R86ND27SW/4+Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+installation+No+3.jpg Commissions Little Princes No. 3 from Little Princes installation, 2014 Acrylic, ink, paper, plant roots, and sand in glass jar 4 ½” height x 2” diameter Underside reads: Little Princes, signed and dated https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1392752221342-FL42XZL18NODN6KHS3SM/5+Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+installation+No++3+detail.jpg Commissions Little Princes, No. 3 from Little Princes installation - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1392752221884-05HR4LFJBUJUCKR3A1SA/6+Trinh+Mai+-+Little+Princes+installation+No+4+.jpg Commissions One Sees Clearly Only With the Heart No. 4 from Little Princes installation, 2014 Acrylic, ink, paper, plant roots, and sand in glass jar 4 ½” height x 2” diameter Underside reads: One sees clearly only with the heart.

These auspicious leaves hang overhead to bring blessing upon this sacred moment as father teaches son how to create their own blessings. To prepare for this piece, I pressed the leaves into a book entitled The Intelligent Investor, which I randomly grabbed from the shelf. After this piece was completed, I learned that the father, who was once the little boy in the photo, had co-authored a book with a similar title. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386478561456-A5GD2CTH2CIMI2K8Q3K9/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Mihir+and+Father+detail++1200.jpg Commissions Father and I - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386478572936-Z8N5RZBS25YVDZ5OREKD/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Windows+1200.jpg Commissions Grandparents, No. 3 from Family Tree, 2013, Acrylic, ink, joss paper, and resin on panel, 10 x 10” His grandparents sit contently as the sun rises over Dhanbad, their home town in eastern India.

The significance of the red cord is twofold: it helps preserve and absorb blessings while also protecting and helping to ward off evil. Above them, a gateway is constructed with a remnant from the bride’s sari worn on her wedding day, red being the traditional color of Indian brides as it is considered a color of honor, love, and prosperity. An altar is adorned with candles, marigold, which symbolizes creation and regeneration, and a pot with coconut leaves placed overtop of it, representing a womb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386478573021-7NNC6VKG7WUZWKR3ETWN/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Worah+Family+1200.jpg Commissions A Prince is Born, No. 6 from Family Tree, 2013, Acrylic, kumkum, ink, joss paper, and resin on panel, 10 x 10” The young couple welcomes into the world their first born son whose name means “Prince of Earth”. The Om hovers over them and is marked with kumkum, a red tumeric powder which is traditionally placed on the sixth chakra, also known as the third eye, a space between the eyebrows which is believed to be the channel through which humankind opens spiritually to the Divine. As part of the Om, this dot represents absolute consciousness, and the open curve which cradles the dot represents an infinitely open mind, which is required to achieve that level of absolute consciousness. The sample of kumkum used in this piece was from the same morsel worn by the couple on their wedding day. I was given some traditional materials to possibly include in the works, and among them was this kumkum which I had a difficult time determining where to place in the series. When she came over for the studio visit, she quickly pointed out that kumkum is customarily placed on the dot of the Om. Serendipitously, this piece was only one of the two pieces which I had not yet begun, and the only piece which included the sacred symbol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386478575400-THL0PZZ892977HMK2FAU/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Worah+Family+detail+2+1200.jpg Commissions A Prince is Born - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386478551755-YQZDHNKH9OHC2FJ7FE36/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Ganga+Hills+1200.jpg Commissions We Have Arrived, No. 7 from Family Tree, 2013, Acrylic, ink, joss paper, tissue paper, and resin on panel, 10 x 10” Mother and Father gaze into the valley, grateful to have arrived, as they ponder the distance they have had to travel to get here.

For the family, the Beatles have always been a shared inspiration, conjuring pivotal moments in their family’s history. A faithful fan since childhood, father played guitar in a band which covered countless Beatles songs. Years prior, he wore a black arm band for an entire year to mourn the death of his favorite Beatle, John Lennon. Later down the road, his first shared moment with his future wife would be on the school bus as he passes her his walkman with the Beatles blaring from the headphones. As they began their family, he continued the tradition, often playing guitar and singing to their son. Father and son continue making music together still today. Among a plethora of Beatles images, I chose to include the portrait from cover of the Beatles’ Abby Road to to symbolize this moving forward together. After this piece was completed, I learned that when they first purchased their home, they were greeted with an enormous poster of this very album cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386482450778-4KSWFYXCWT4E2IKC6G71/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Ganga+Hills+-+Lilypads+1200.jpg Commissions We Rise Above, No.8 from Family Tree, 2013, Acrylic, ink, joss paper and resin on panel, 10 x 10” The family gathers among the lotuses, the sacred flowers which occupy a unique position in the art and mythology of ancient India.

In history, myth, legend, and lore, peacock symbolism carries portents of nobility, holiness, guidance, and protection, and because they are resilient creatures who easily adapt to their changing environments, they were seen as immortal by the ancients. Early belief also held that the Gates of Paradise were guarded by a pair of peacocks. Coincidentally, after this piece was completed, she shared with me that her grandparents came from a family of silversmiths, and that among the family’s precious heirlooms still exists a set of silver vases upon which they had engraved several peacocks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386478547654-TW1DL7AO7WPABIF360YE/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Anu+Grandparents++detail+2+1200.jpg Commissions Anu's Grandparents - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1386478555679-PA8432V5VCJMLFCK0WFH/Worah+Family+Tree+-+Marigold++1200.jpg Commissions Fields of Marigold, No. 11 from Family Tree, 2013 Acrylic, ink, joss paper, tissue paper and resin on panel, 10 x 10” Marigold is an auspicious flower in Indian tradition, also known as the "Herb of the Sun".

While delivering the completed series, we spread the pieces out in front of the their existing batik painting to get a visual of how both artworks would dialogue since they would be hung on adjacent walls. We were pleasantly surprised to find that in this painting, mother and daughter, carrying baskets of marigold above their heads, echoed the multiple figures in their batik painting, whose women were also lifting baskets of marigold over their heads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1402806902487-QI4JJC32ULNGGNIKLR2V/Family+Tree+-+Banyan+1200.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382721902579-74C2QZKR0HS0XAS2I667/20131016_103621+1200.jpg Commissions This commission for Judith honors her precious childhood memories of the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin.

The robin is a promise of new beginnings, the inception of spring and growth, and of the “return of warmth”. Native American Plains' tribes regard its bright yellow beak as a symbol of the sun rays lighting the earth with hope, and attribute their beak color with being mindful of the spoken word. The robin was a sign to only present the highest truth when speaking. The Iroquois and Shoshone tribe lore indicated that the white ring around the red robin's eye was symbolic of prophetic vision, clarity, and great wisdom. The robin would be called upon during ceremonies when clear understanding was needed, and quality judgments needed to be made. Omaha tribes believed the sun rose and set on the wings of the robin.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382721921300-M4MTOTP36S3OGU85VDTJ/20131016_103919+1200.jpg Commissions The initial inspiration came from an original photo taken and developed by Judith. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382721931227-F3O3EYTEEEJBE35GXPBP/20131016_104041+1200.jpg Commissions Rabbits are symbolic of the cycle of life, and they way life carries on generation after generation, and hearkens to ideals of ancestry. Indeed in many cultures (Asian, for example) the rabbit is a symbol of longevity and a long family line. Rabbits' renowned ability to have large litters of babies is also symbolic of creativity. Traditionally, rabbits are associated with abundance, comfort, and vulnerability. Rabbit meanings are also closely linked to the seasons, the changes of Mother Earth, and specifically Springtime. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382722930779-O9AEGFMDDGFZJLMFT682/1+Trinh+Mai+Commission+2012.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382722901738-2S81X3VG7XLCY1UV6KT3/1.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382722897028-KN3IUX7MCS4JOQ9QM317/2.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382722909052-JAD1D3A3VGBKDOI6LTXF/3.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382722918021-UZN5DQZD9BRB8AZTVG9U/4.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382722931513-GDGM0MLIS78SDSF6WI9K/5.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382724370311-4KUIJ8DJVFRZN2DCBLAN/Mother+to+Mother+2.jpg Commissions Mother to Mother, 2012, mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10" each panel This is a very special commission piece that I created for a couple’s wedding. They hung these paintings at their wedding, and then gifted a painting to each of their mothers after the ceremony. What a heart-warming idea! In this diptych, the mothers stand facing each other in one accord. One piece contains the the groom's mother and her three sons, while the other piece holds dear the bride's mother and her four daughters. Vietnamese love poetry serves as the foundation upon which these pieces were developed, while the Chinese symbol for "longevity" hovers overhead. Wishing you two as many blessings as you can ever hope for, for as long as this life and life thereafter may carry you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382723953662-SDCGQD22MYYEQ7GBGAJK/Phase+7+-+Final+layer+of+imagery+and+resin+2.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382723943805-NV1VGBS8ZBS6FRSEXNST/Phase+7+-+Final+layer+of+imagery+and+resin+14.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382723925250-4FTW7983GDSFB9NRSH8A/Phase+7+-+Final+layer+of+imagery+and+resin+8.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382724380569-YKOGHAATPM6WT6QQDZWF/Phase+7+-+Final+layer+of+imagery+and+resin+15.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382724519814-PPKKG79II45UM30KQI8A/Phase+7+-+Final+layer+of+imagery+and+resin+11.jpg Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1620235300533-UHR1NQ8YWLZ499DKGYCV/2011%2B-%2BFigurative%2B-%2BI%2BAm%2BMy%2BGrandmother%27s%2BGranddaughter.jpg Commissions http://trinhmai.com/community daily 0.75 2025-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1394299181985-IMENK11US87IXDFRPDK8/_Little+Warriors+Banner.jpg Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1514666673343-PS2GZUWIMNF5ZWKX7QNJ/Exhibition+Landscape+2.jpg Community Heninger village residents stand proudly among their artworks on display at coastline gallery in newport beach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1394296851461-8PSSRAE6XPGMILHVZEIZ/Little+Warriors+No.+1+.jpg Community Little Warrior No. 1, acrylic, charcoal, gouache, hand stitching, leaves, and tissue paper on paper.

She has lived through times of wealth and times of poverty, times of plenty and times of hunger, and like all of us, has persevered through heartache which undoubtedly leads to those cherished moments of healing. The Vietnamese hand-stitched text reads, “sáng, sóng, sang sông, sang”, which translates to “to lighten, to live, to cross a River, to arrive”. Through her life, my mother has taught me that by seeing the world through a lens of hope, we can continue appreciating Life in its entirety regardless of circumstance. And although these storms can devastate and seemingly destroy, we know their worth. Whether to test our Will, to help us recognize those who are true in our lives, to teach us important lessons in compassion, or to test our intrinsic strength, these storms will ever reveal to us the worthy reasons for their afflictions upon us. As nature has proven, our muscles and bones, just as our Spirits, strengthen under this pressure. Together we have learned that if we can just endure and learn to move with their currents, these storms will eventually come to pass, leaving us scarred but wiser, bent but stronger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379544623807-68689XNC10OJXPLC9VEF/_S%C3%A1ng+S%C3%B3ng+Sang+S%C3%B4ng+Sang+detail.jpg Drawings Sáng, Sóng, Sang Sông, Sang (To Lighten, to Live, to Cross a River, to Arrive) - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1423195154874-X78D1R17W5DG0WUSS5O4/May+We+Be+Free.jpg Drawings May We Be Free (No.2), 2012 Charcoal, joss paper and acrylic on paper, 21 x 18". Collection of A. K. Nguyen, San Jose, CA. Like an anointing for the children, a cloud hovers over a young monk as he leads us on a journey into his world. This drawing is the second piece of a continuing collection of works, which I am dedicating specifically to the children of Cambodia and to Friends Without a Border in celebration of this divine relationship that has flourished throughout the years. Created by the seals cut from joss paper, a rice paper burned in prayer in Buddhist tradition, the celestial body begins making its way to earth to bless the young monk. The Khmer script reads, “May we be free”, a prayer for the children of Cambodia, that they may be well and thriving. To translate this phrase, my husband and I visited with two monks who helped us at their residence in a temple in Long Beach, CA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379540611388-7PB1AUZJS4ZCRVXLIYEA/1.jpg Drawings And her face was no longer downcast., 2013, acrylic, charcoal, collage, Bà Ngoại’s (Grandmother’s) sewing patterns, and hand embroidery on paper, 24 x 19" While trudging through a time of great trial, my husband and I hung onto hope and onto each other. We reminded each other that the same sun that softens the butter, was the same one that was going to harden this foundation below our bruised and clay-stained feet. He helped put things into perspective when he said gently to me as he recalled our family's plight during their escape from war in Việt Nam, “You remember what our parents went through, right? If they made it, so can we.” Under the persistent sun, a woman cleanses her feet in the waters that have witnessed the fall of a Nation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379540635612-FKGSNGWGHZTIFS308H6C/4.jpg Drawings And Her Face Was No Longer Downcast - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379540658026-MW6WMS53EEXSFUCXOQOB/IMAG0569.jpg Drawings Finding Myself Everywhere, 2013, graphite, remnants of Grandmother’s sewing patterns, and hand embroidery on paper 24 x 19" While traversing through this life, we are consistently searching for the ideals, behaviors, and pursuits that help define who we are within the various roles that we embody in this life. Here, a woman finds herself/her selves by looking to the inheritance that the predecessors have bestowed upon her. This endowment includes her innate characteristics, which is symbolized by the assemblage of cells—these genetic structures in which she carries her ancestors as heir apparent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1379540659995-CQRDFW8DFELQNERZSCUT/IMAG0568.jpg Drawings Finding Myself Everywhere, 2013.

My American-born sight begins to adjust from a clouded perspective and into clarity as these stories begin unfolding (mờ mắt, to have blurred vision). I feel a shame about knowing so little, likening it unto dim lighting—a veiled place for me to hide, or a soft candlelight that has yet to brighten to offer me clearer vision. In an attempt to better understand my history, I absorb these diverse narratives and grasp onto an array of media to make the work that might offer me greater edification of these tumultuous and triumphant experiences (mò, to fumble). As an inheritor of these stories that belong to those who have so generously and willingly shared them with me, my eyes are opened slightly wider, allowing me to more fully appreciate the extent of my privilege. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380440366735-PR7ZFVWCKDEHP8OKT5XH/2.jpg Drawings Mất, Mờ Mắt, Mò, Mắt Mở (To Be Lost, To Have Blurred Vision, To Fumble, To Open One's Eyes) , detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380440573406-18TW0EC0CF01MAL6VGBS/Boat+Folks.jpg Drawings Boat Folks, 2013, acrylic, charcoal, hand embroidery, joss paper, ink, and rice bag remnant inherited from Grandmother’s fabric collection, 24 x 19". Collection of D. Doan and C. Le, San Jose, CA This piece recalls a time when my family fled the shores of Sài Gòn in order to reclaim the possibility of freedom elsewhere. Fortunately for me, my family members are willing to share their memories of this tumultuous time to help me gain a deeper understanding of the very privileged life I have today. Barely visible in the boat, my mother’s youngest sister and I sit peacefully, watching the waves which will eventually carry us to shore. Although I was born in America, placing myself beside Cô Bé (my youngest auntie, Hoài) symbolizes how their willingness to pass on their memories have allowed me to vicariously journey with them in 1975, during the fall of Sài Gòn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1380440578237-VYWAIYU4JLWIHEQG8HJW/20130601_133315.jpg Drawings Boat Folks - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1406573613986-CNDV569PP966LLBA509D/Tu+Que+Puedes+1.jpg Drawings Tu Que Puedes, 2014, Charcoal, gouache, and hand embroidery on paper, 24 x 18" While studying Spanish painter Francisco de Goya's etchings, I was stricken by the deep, dark honesty of his work in which he observed the mistakes and shortcomings of society. This piece quotes one of Goya's etchings from his Los Caprichos series. In his etching captioned "Tu que no puedes" (1797), translating to "You who cannot", two men bear the weight of a pair of mules upon their backs. By recreating and embellishing the work with elements of support and relief, I have taken the insufferable hopeless reality which Goya had lived and created, and have recharged it into one that offers assistance and consolation. "Tu que no puedes" becomes "Tu que puedes". "You who cannot" becomes "You who can". This piece speaks on the release of these burdens and the assistance that can be offered by those who surround us, aid that can sometimes be veiled by the looming haze caused by affliction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1406573616368-KHMHNV6CB3SNSF6LUST9/Tu+Que+Puedes+-+detail+1.jpg Drawings Tu Que Puedes - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1617340736966-4XRZ7B38SBLI39RSP169/Ba+Ngoai+%28Fingerprints%29+1.jpg Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1430122769803-TCZO1JC5DZK2NX9UNQJ8/3.jpg Drawings Bà Ngoại (Grandmother) - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1617340738895-QRYQGTQREJPRCJJUUIYH/Ba+Ngoai+%28Fingerprints%29+3.jpg Drawings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1590959599802-4TTBEDAOHIQCT1TGI3D5/Ba+Co+2.jpg Drawings Bà Cố Ngoại (Mother’s Mother’s Mother), 2017, charcoal on paper, 18 x 24” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1527315383720-8WTM28MOCRVLN7S4G1UP/_Con+chim+dau.jpg Drawings Con Chim Đâu (Where is the bird), 2018. Charcoal, color pencil, gouache, hand embroidery, ink, joss paper, photo transfer, rainwater from Vietnam, and tears on Arches paper, 33 x 29”. A Vietnamese greenfinch looks to her ancestors as she loosens her bind. Three phrases fall gently from above. They read, con chim đâu (where is the bird), chìm (drown), and còn đau (still hurting). The other hidden bird, the flicker woodpecker, which symbolizes healing, watches silently from above. As I rub rainwater from Vietnam and tears that have been shed for the dead into the piece, they create lesions that tear into the narrative. This piece speaks on the suffering of humanity, and the hope that we have to free ourselves from it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1527315392030-UH22C20YZ74XAXUIBAA8/20180416_153750.jpg Drawings Con Chim Đâu (Where is the bird), 2018.

Charcoal, gouache, hand embroidery, Kelly’s ashes, rainwater from Vietnam, and tears on Arches watercolor paper, 33 x 29”. Dedicated to Belle, Brad, Jay, Kathy, Laurel, and Aubrey. Text inspired by choral poem by S/he Who Has No Masters. There is a Vietnamese belief that the departed must be given a proper burial in order for their souls to rest. For the blessèd ones who have loved ones to usher them, they continue living in our memory and in the life thereafter. As we mourn the death of our bèloved, we might also recognize that they are now shielded from the atrocities that this world presents to our stinging eyes. Two women walk side by side upon the ashes of those who have journeyed with us. and before us. The ancient Chinese symbols represent longevity for our loved ones living and eternal rest for loved ones past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1527315419008-E0EFTH3O2RXQZIIMJLVJ/Know+Rest+2.jpg Drawings Know Rest, 2018.

Belle’s acrylic, charcoal, hand embroidery, and tears on paper, 28 x 42”. Collection of V.A. and D.G., Alamo, CA. Cover art for Watermark. This piece began telling the story of a Vietnamese greenfinch who is working tirelessly to untangle the refugee children from the snares that befall them. After living with it for some time in the studio, my perception of the work shifted as the greenfinch began binding the children in a cord with which he will pull them out of the wilderness. In this new interpretation, the greenfinch moves from a defensive state into a more assertive role as hope springs confidently into bold action. A prayer for the refugee families, that they may be led to firm terrain with eyes set on a longsuffering hope for the life ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1581996497743-JDGXF923PYWICDVVE0U4/_Fowler+-+children+2.jpg We Who Seek Refuge From the Snare of the Fowler, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1581996493990-7WI692VCNKG1D4Y05JXE/_Fowler+-+bird+1.jpg We Who Seek Refuge From the Snare of the Fowler, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1619908814719-SYGWMWJF4XZR6VSHBTFX/__How+Long+full+%2B+length.png We Who Seek Refuge How Long, 2019. Acrylic, charcoal, gouache, hand embroidery, pressed leaves, scripture, and tree bark on paper, 28 1/2 x 22 1/2” A fatigued bird clutches onto the lifeline from which the scales of justice suspend precariously. As a flicker helps to alleviate the weight, she catches momentum from the wind of change—the one they’ve been awaiting for much too long. These flicker woodpeckers are healers of sorts—they help preserve the life of the tree by biting at the insects that eat at the heart of it. For the ones whose compassion has called them to take up iron for a fight that may not be directly theirs, but whose fragile eyes serve as mirrors while witnessing the suppression that deteriorates the dignity of life. For the faithful ones who continue to hope, the ones that know that all things pass, the ones who recognize that without hope, there exists only the horror of looming defeat. To the longsuffering who draw in slow, patient breaths into withered lungs: Arise. This fight is not in vain. The fragmented scripture reads: And they cried with voice, saying ‘how long’. Many men died. Was found without fault. He has judged who corrupted. Woe is past. Behold, woe is past. Do not weep. Know that our brother has been set free. Those who dwell will marvel. The title How Long references Psalm 13:1 wherein the author writes, How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? To pull from the thoughts of Lennox, Professor of Mathematics and Bioethics, Philosopher of Science at Oxford University: From the human perspective, we clearly see that God is at work when life is good and we bear witness to the fruit whose seeds we’ve sewn. But when we find ourselves in distress, the doubt. Could it be that God is still at work, but our eyes are clouded with the darkness of the world, and that we are focused on our circumstances, rather than God’s sovereignty in the circumstance? For it has been written. Where does our faith lie—in the goodness, and not in the struggle? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1581996665841-EM03XD38TP3537HBU0VX/How+Long+-+bird+and+leaves.jpg We Who Seek Refuge How Long, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1581996657865-H5K21I6T1SO3GEJZYP83/_How+Long+-+bird+2.jpg We Who Seek Refuge How Long, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1581996656545-DO3ZLSHXO48EHXM1N347/_How+Long+-+scales.jpg We Who Seek Refuge How Long, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1581996878003-CSAUG9SJZLPOSYWXU851/20190920_220018.jpg We Who Seek Refuge How Long, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1594949054798-S4CQ0CL1Q3776L9ZFYAZ/_And+we+shall+come+forth+as+gold+-+diptych.png We Who Seek Refuge And we shall come forth as gold, 2019. Acrylic, charcoal, gold leaf, hand embroidery, tears shed for the refugees on paper, 28 1/2 x 22 1/2” An American goldfinch airlifts a child from a golden landscape. Vietnamese greenfinches are stamped with red crosses as symbols of courage, recovery, and the preservation of life. They lead the flock toward freedom, shielded by the same light that reveals them. While we witness the plight of our refugee and immigrant families with tightened fists and open arms, it is a wonder if we will ever know why these tragedies occur. As creatures of reason, we try to find resolve and purpose, lest the children suffer in vain. When considering why this suffering settles upon the human landscape, I refer to gold. Like gold brought to flame in the furnace, we are purified when put through fire. The flames seem to engulf, but the affliction draws out particles of impurity. Though we hath been tried, we shall come forth as gold. * Witness the Vietnamese greenfinch disappear and appear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1582584443110-IHF2FTE39TJTDEHAQ44Q/_20200218_130905.jpg We Who Seek Refuge And we shall come forth as gold, No. I, panel I (detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1582584577855-Q0HQ2QE0YKMTECEA0K54/_20200218_131334.jpg We Who Seek Refuge And we shall come forth as gold, No. I, panel I (detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1620869027290-E8ZSRPWKPVFRJH4V77Q3/20200303_132054+2.jpg We Who Seek Refuge And we shall come forth as gold, No. I, panel II (detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593801884570-J4TPOFN30161APL7DLSN/Mai_Black+Death_1.jpg We Who Seek Refuge Black Death, 2020, holy water, tears shed for George Floyd and the Black community, and ink (artist’s fingerprints) on paper, 19 x 24” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593801884654-NG8I5I6VS1UB3TV37UYM/Mai_Black+Death_2.jpg We Who Seek Refuge Black Death, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593801912967-0YLGAQFOMHKLPAI7FUIL/Mai_Black+Death_3.jpg We Who Seek Refuge Black Death, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593801925510-9ASHLZ9HXHHQ0EAEMKLM/Mai_Black+Detah_4.jpg We Who Seek Refuge Black Death, detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1607133342649-8W6GR7UDWTQKIUKU765S/Black+Death+-+detail+4.jpg We Who Seek Refuge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1593801922143-HCHBU8C8VD86L3ZA0DPS/Mai_Black+Death_5.jpg We Who Seek Refuge Black Death, detail of holy water and tears shed for George Floyd and the Black community http://trinhmai.com/exhbitions-2021-2022 daily 0.75 2025-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1382161866880-0T9NRBUQC5CCF64ZW6LN/DSCN1650+3.jpg 2021 -

The float sinks to 1000 meters below the sea, goes into low-power "sleep mode" and drifts with ocean currents for 10 days. The float then wakes up, dives to 2000 meters depth and then rapidly rises to the ocean surface, taking physics, chemistry, and biology measurements during the ascent. Once on the surface, the floats gets a GPS fix to determine location, and sends the measurements home via Iridium satellite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1682200979000-1AFTVXK9SF7FCYS3GSV1/MBARI+4.jpg Float Rick and Greg look through a list of available floats and choose one that we will be dedicating to JennyBoo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1682200981771-ZITY1HA3E0WB6DEB8O1N/MBARI+5.jpg Float Float 21267, it is!

Ba translates to father. Fathers are being detained, rendering their children fatherless. In 1975, my father was miles away from shore, serving in the Republic of Vietnam’s Navy. When his ship caught news of the Fall of Sài Gòn, they rerouted, and he would never again step foot onto the soil of his homeland, for in moments there would no longer be a South Việt Nam. A son was forced to leave his parents and his brothers and sisters behind. He was the first of his clan to arrive in the Americas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1619944890877-GWVDATWUQM49F458YCZK/Document+Raid.jpg Seeking Sanctuary Documẹnt.

Ẩn translates to hidden. We once lived right down the street from storage units wherein Mexican families were being sheltered from immigration authorities. The ones who are at risk are often forced to live in hiding. They wade in precarious waters, and this can lead to a life of solitude and/or loneliness. Although there is a great risk in not asking for assistance, these circumstances foster fear and distrust, which can pull the victims even deeper into hiding, while also deterring them from seeking the help that they need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1619944890759-R4ZVKT7KKUOVNI3IND53/Claim+you+disappeared.jpg Seeking Sanctuary Claim your disappeared.

Về means to return home. Detention centers and private prisons are systems that have been built upon greed and the devaluation of human life. From 2016-2017, changes is policy caused stock prices to double for two of the largest private prison operators.

Ra means to leave, or to get out. My heart rends for the lack of compassion that some have for our fellow human beings. To them I ask, How might your perspective change if this was your family who was escaping persecution, war, and poverty? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1619944924454-DXX13474NIY81UQFH4YL/Undocumented+Unafraid.jpg Seeking Sanctuary Undocumented.

To them I ask: Have we so soon forgotten the love that was bestowed upon us upon our arrival, as we sought sanctuary, and greater opportunities that could lead to more promising futures for us and for our future generations? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1619944912697-C6LXSVC1K7CXG4S1Z6M4/Sanctuary+Necessity.jpg Seeking Sanctuary A sạnctuary is a necessity. Sạ translates to sowing. Among the things that human beings have in common are the need for safety and the instinct to survive, so that we might cultivate a new generation of seed-sowers to continue the cycle. May we strive to sow the seeds of peace by offering sanctuary to those who seek peace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1619944917607-SXPDZPF8PGIUNU24ETDJ/Seek+Asylum.jpg Seeking Sanctuary Sẽek asylum.

Open Doors, 2023, acrylic, color pencil, graphite, and photographic print on paper As a young child and into her adulthood, Suny Lay Chang was deeply inspired by her parents’ way of life. She absorbed their love, compassion, and humanitarianism as a child, having witnessed her home become a sanctuary for countless families as her parents would consistently sponsor newly arriving refugees—family members and non-family members alike. Suny was also dedicated to her studies, having also inherited the love for education from her parents, who studied and met in India before the Khmer Rouge invasion. Years after their arrival, Suny was born in Long Beach. In her later years, she was granted the opportunity to spend time at Angkor Wats, writing and reflecting to connect more deeply to her roots. I grew up watching the underground railroad. That could have been us. So, for me, it’s been about sliding doors and how do I give back. – Suny Lay Chang https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695433942623-KTCFSJSEP6I38H8NH9TV/Amber.png We Survived, and here we are. Then and Now, 2023, acrylic and photographic print on paper A portrait Amber Va peers into the future, as she leans against a memory of her with her mother at a temple. Throughout Khmer history, temples were a sanctuary where the people were housed, fed, and schooled. They stand in reference for tradition. Being Khmer American is learning about my history and informative to holding on to the language and the roots…to keeping the legacy alive and keeping our roots here. – Amber Va https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695433976248-WXQP01EUKC3GM17HSCOR/Om+Hune+Lee.png We Survived, and here we are. Home is Where We Are, 2023, acrylic, graphite, and photographic print on paper In 1974, Om Hune Lee and her husband arrived in America as foreign exchange students. By grace, they were spared the first-hand experience of combat, but mourned their country as they watched the war on television from abroad. During the Pol Pot regime, they were unable to communicate with family or return to Cambodia. After their student visas expired, the couple found work as landscapers; Om Hune’s first job was as gas station attendant, where this photo of the young couple was taken. It would be later that Om Hune would work as a cashier at Winchell’s donut shop. Years later, the couple saved enough money to open a donut shop of their own, where called home for a time, living in their van that they parked in the shop’s parking lot. They eventually saved enough money to purchase a house in Ventura in 1980 for their family. This piece speaks on a persevering hope for the future. I had food, I had a roof, but had also a broken heart… I prefer the next generation learn more about the tradition of Cambodia… the language, the manner, the respect for elders. – Om Hune Lee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695433976072-WYMZEILO09LQCH2A7K97/Tiffany.png We Survived, and here we are. Carrying the Flame, 2023, acrylic and photographic print on paper From her early childhood years in Cambodia Town, Tiffany Lytle was determined to carry on Khmer culture and tradition through her dedicated practice of Cambodian traditional folk dance, spending countless hours dancing in United Cambodian Community building. As a mixed-race Cambodian American, who was fully immersed in Khmer classical dance, she was often questioned by others for it, but her passion for the ancient art form perpetuated from the age of 5 to the age of 20. In this piece, a young Tiffany adorned in traditional intricate Khmer garb, poses as she prepares to take the stage. She carries the flame of tradition for the future generations. I’ve understood all of these stories and the way that my family was before I existed. All of this is important because it contextualizes my life as well, and contextualizes what is happening in my community. – Tiffany Lytle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695433977064-UXFM8ZA1X5BJB210QJEF/Lawan.png We Survived, and here we are. We survived, and here we are., 2023, acrylic, dirt collected from Angkor Wat and almond fields wherein the artist’s husband’s family toiled when first arriving in America, and photographic print on paper The title of this piece in drawn from the words of Lawan Bunphoath and she ruminates on migration, survival, and triumph over adversity. She recalls a time in history wherein her family were forced to bury their food in the dirt to keep their sustenance from being stolen by the Khmer Rouge. A portrait of Lawan and her family rests under the flora of the motherland with a hope that weathers them. They know that in time, the fruit that is buried will grow into a tree that will sustain the generations to come. I want [the youth] to grow up in the American way, but to not forget the culture. Don’t forget where your parents came from…still know the tradition. – Lawan Bunphoath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1703993202601-YLGH639Z57N2YRHPL0HF/Cameron.png We Survived, and here we are. New Growth, 2023, acrylic, graphite, and photographic print on paper This piece reflects on new life and new growth, and the transition through which we navigate to arrive home. Standing on the grounds in the refugee camp is a young Cameron Sam with his younger brother Don. Beside them sprouts a young sapling, reaching for light as it grows from new soil, honoring their father who was a farmer in Cambodia. I just want all of us to connect, and to continue to grow with one another, and build… because it’s so easy to forget where you come from. – Cameron Sam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1703993202202-33QP6JE15NW42W8GDRIB/Chad.png We Survived, and here we are. Battambang, 2023, acrylic and photographic print on paper From Cambodia to America, Chad Phuong’s memories are immersed in food. Born in Battambang, he reminisces about his grandfather’s production of palm sugar liquor that would later weave into his development of Battambong Lager in partnership with Ten Mile Brewing in Long Beach. Chad’s grandmother’s Cambodian noodles would further establish his passion for food. He recalls early Long Beach Cambodian settlers fishing in the lagoon in the early 1980s; Bayon Market, one of the first Cambodian-owned businesses in Long Beach which still stands on East 10th Street; and living in the small town of Hereford, Texas, where he worked in the slaughterhouse. These whole of these experiences of food and culture would seep into Chad’s inspiration, leading to his establishment of Battambong BBQ, a small business that helps him raise awareness for, and in celebration of, Cambodian Culture through food. This piece incorporates a photo of a young Chad that was taken at the refugee camp, his promising future awaiting him. Alongside the young Chad is a more recent portrait of him as a working man who dons the iconic Texan cowboy hat, apron stamped with the Battambong BBQ icon as a badge of diligence and success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1703993220580-NVJNI3N316855TS77CYR/Pu+Pasin.png We Survived, and here we are. Flee. Free., 2023, acrylic, graphite, and photographic print on paper This piece tells the story of migration and arrival, illustrating Pu Pasin Chanou’s journey, and the things that his family left behind as they fled their motherland to build a new life in a distant land. In Cambodia, Pu Pasin’s family owned sapphire mines, but as the Khmer Rouge forces invaded, they prepared for escape. Thankfully, Pu Pasin’s uncle was a helicopter pilot, and flew his family out of Cambodia and into Thailand, where they entered the refugee camp. This piece documents his journey across borderlands. Khmer has a long civilization, an advanced civilization, so that is really what I want to bring back, what I want to educate people about, what I want to promote, and Cambodia Town fits into that…We can bring Cambodian culture and share it with the rest of the community. – Pu Pasin Chanou https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1703993206131-BLN123Q0M8P245EMIH9U/Hunny.png We Survived, and here we are. Lifeline, 2023, acrylic, collage, graphite, hand embroidery, and photographic print on paper This work honors Hunny Hach, her mother, and her bond with her mother, while illustrating the opportunities to rebuild in new environments. With a passion for music and DJing, Hunny peers up to her mother in reverence, ruminating on their Khmer history and heritage. The red cord tells of her mother’s early history here in America. The first class she took was a sewing class, a skill that helped her enter into the workforce. The hand-embroidered lifeline connects mother to daughter, past to present, and life to life. But throughout all the journey… I think I’ve always been a part of the community… I fell in love with the community. – Hunny Hach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1703993221809-FQ4X23NJP4EQ3IU1RIZW/Sambo.png We Survived, and here we are. Abundance, 2023, acrylic, graphite, and photographic print on paper This piece honors the childhood memories of Sambo Sak, his late mother, and their familial bond. The Khmer name Sambo translates to abundant, which is illustrated by the plethora of sustenance offered at the feet of mother and son. The lemons represent the fruitful life for which our people hoped as they traversed native soil to arrive on new shores. Also signifying abundance is a feast of prawns, drawn from one of Sambo’s fondest memories of a family gathering wherein a young Sambo stood in awe of plenty. Being a Cambodian American is building that pathway for the next generation. – Sambo Sak https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1703993227076-EZ4RFL8IY36LD77PPBHH/Sotheavattay.png We Survived, and here we are. Blossom and Grow, 2023, acrylic, color pencil, and photographic print on paper The spoken name Sotheavottey translates to kindness, but Sotheavottey Soeng’s parents spelled it differently, which alters the meaning into the scent of a flower. When first becoming a U.S. citizen, Sotheavottey was encouraged to change her name, but she refused, having a deep love for the meaningful name that was given to her by her parents. During childhood, the Khmer Rouge oppression shrouded her early years with darkness, but the wise words of her grandparents would sustain her and her mother: This darkness will not last forever. One day we will be free. This repression prohibited Sotheavottey from going to school, but this tyranny would sow into her heart the seeds of compassion that would blossom to fulfillment. In her adulthood, Sotheavottey would dedicate her life to studying early childhood education, earning a graduate degree from Cal State Long Beach in 2015. In this piece, the fragrant lotuses blossom from mud, and the beauty that sprouts from tragedy keeps a determined young Sotheavottey afloat as she strives to build a fulfilling life. We come from different cultures... It’s completely different, our culture and American culture. But remember, Young Generation, our people have you in their full heart. – Sotheavottey Soeng https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1728144832696-UHX4JRBA3DKWWZ4TBP9N/Steven+copy.png We Survived, and here we are. Somehow, someone had cleared the path for us., 2023, charcoal and photographic prints on paper In the late 1970s, Steven Vichail Mut escaped on foot through mine fields along Cambodian border with nephew on his back. When they arrived at the refugee camp, his persistent father sent numerous letters to various humanitarian organizations, in search of a sponsor. Due to his father’s persistence, they were granted sponsorship from a Christian organization, and received assistance as they began their life anew. Time was no matter. There is no sense of day, month, only dealing with what was right in front of you… Somehow, someone had cleared the path for us. – Steven Vichail Mut http://trinhmai.com/plenty daily 0.75 2024-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695438778223-DYNPR2BT1AOOFZP3DKIR/4.jpg Plenty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695436052128-FH41SSL93MU7V857J2OG/1.png Plenty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695436053176-GPMVCMK46UAHL0XDTWQT/2.png Plenty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695436053530-84WVR0ZW438APY0EFD7T/4.png Plenty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695436061181-NUDS9KCM1LDGZ1WLH5WB/processed_20230625_170130.jpg Plenty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695436066365-HU1SZLHIYGSA8XGO6SUE/5.png Plenty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1695436068403-SH0WXYSG0L1PI3MMJLCD/7.png Plenty http://trinhmai.com/we-the-propagators daily 0.75 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1725724636782-0DIBJ9VP6ZF3FIDDIT2R/We+the+Propagators.jpg We the Propagators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1724993199789-MLV5NO943BOZYGHFGKQS/We+the+Propagators.jpg We the Propagators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/1721018956076-ZX7F16H0CY78VF1NI2A6/20240709_132657.jpg We the Propagators Thank you to the City of Long Beach for this opportunity to create my first outdoor mural.

It was obvious that the flowers were meant for someone else, so I refused, but he insisted. It was such a lovely gesture, and all the more special because it aligned with the thoughtful tradition of giving artisTs flowers at their exhibition openinGs or theater/musical performances. he wasn’t even aware of how perfect the timing was. Thank you, Brother, for your kindness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5238fb4ae4b0870410a10096/7cffd9ca-8c9a-41ba-8446-bf1bf8e78ea0/_20251213_191703+2+copy.png After the Good Day's Work - Make it stand out Everything contained in the survival pack that I am carrying in the photo above, including Kelly’s brushes.
