ABOUT THE ARTWORK

With this body of work, I’m exploring more into the Amelie-An Series and the extended of its theme in which showing more of her personality, and her interactions with the family. Influenced by Andrew Wyeth, I‘m using my family members as models and I want each painting to tell a story. I want to create a feeling of something is happening or going to happen …and I want the viewers to interpret it their own way. I want my painting to have a feel of conceptual not just another pretty picture.

Biography: I was born in Saigon, Vietnam. Being very shy, I spent much of my childhood hiding away upstairs painting, instead of playing with other children. My first brush with success was a Best of Show prize at the 1974 children's exhibition in Saigon sponsored by UNICEF. In 1975 Saigon fell and in the resulting confusion I was separated from my parents. I ended up in a refuge camp near Hong Kong for a year prior to immigrating to the United States as an orphan. After one very snowy and cold winter in Pennsylvania, I went to Los Angeles to stay with some relatives. During my high school years, I earned extra money doing fashion modeling work in the garment district and upon graduation started on the pre-med program in college. During this time I fell in love with art again and changed my major to art. While in college I had an acting stint in Hollywood on the side (I got a part in Oliver Stone's 'Heaven and Earth' and followed with a lead role in Elizabeth Hong Yang's 'Touch Within' in China). After getting my art degree, I have since settled down to pursue my art career in Los Angeles, Seattle, Hawaii and finally Acapulco Mexico. Biografía: Nací en Saigón, Vietnam. Siendo muy tímido, pasé gran parte de mi infancia escondido en el piso de arriba pintando, en lugar de jugar con otros niños. Mi primer roce con el éxito fue el premio Best of Show en la exposición infantil de 1974 en Saigón, patrocinada por UNICEF. En 1975 cayó Saigón y en la confusión resultante me separaron de mis padres. Terminé en un campo de refugiados cerca de Hong Kong durante un año antes de emigrar a los Estados Unidos como huérfano. Después de un invierno muy frío y nevado en Pensilvania, fui a Los Ángeles para quedarme con unos familiares. Durante mis años de escuela secundaria, gané dinero extra trabajando como modelo de moda en el distrito de la confección y, al graduarme, comencé el programa de pre-medicina en la universidad. Durante este tiempo me enamoré nuevamente del arte y cambié mi especialización a arte. Mientras estaba en la universidad, tuve una temporada de actuación en Hollywood (obtuve un papel en 'Heaven and Earth' de Oliver Stone y seguí con un papel principal en 'Touch Within' de Elizabeth Hong Yang en China). Después de obtener mi título en arte, me instalé para seguir mi carrera artística en Los Ángeles, Seattle, Hawaii y finalmente en Acapulco, México.
