Artist Statement
As an artist, I weave my diverse background, surroundings, and vibrant daydreams into a tapestry of creativity. My work is a fusion of reality and imagination, infusing playfulness, exploration, and fun through the interplay of movement, color, texture, language, objects, costumes, and rhythmical music within my performances. With a mission to uplift and challenge, my art invites audiences to re-assess assumptions, creating a dynamic canvas where each element contributes to a fresh perspective on the intersection of reality and imagination.

Brief Bio
Embarking from the diverse roots of Vietnam, France, and China, my journey began in Hong Kong, influenced by the backdrop of my father's military service. From a boat refugee to a vibrant upbringing in Denmark, I later became a citizen of Norway. Now settled in sunny Florida, USA, my joy extends as a proud mother and happy wife, weaving a life story colored by resilience, cultural richness, and the warmth of family. Alongside these chapters, my adventurous spirit in travel explores the world's wonders, creating a narrative that intertwines diverse experiences and the creative tapestry of the arts.
