I am predominately a 2-d artist and most inspired by people when making my paintings. Below is a small gallery of some of the different 2-d mediums I have worked in and the themes that have inspired me, which are all from my immediate surroundings in HCMC. I am most currently working on a self-portrait series that deals with the multi-faceted lives women lead in these times. I am using ricepaper as my main canvas for these works, and a variety of mediums to help me explore the visual expression of past lives and memories of oneself beyond the pixelated version. The use of a gloss medium transforms the rice paper into a very textural work that almost feels like fabric and strengthens its durability while enhancing the look of the fibres within it.
