I was born in Queens, NY, in 1984, to young Thai immigrant parents facing significant financial struggles. Growing up, my family moved frequently, navigating cultural differences that made assimilation a constant challenge. During difficult times, I found refuge and self-expression through art. I briefly attended the Art Institute of Philadelphia but left due to financial constraints and the need for greater discipline.

My experiences—serving in the Marines with two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, grieving the loss of loved ones, and overcoming personal hardships—fuel my artistic vision. I create bold, vivid works featuring expressive human faces and dynamic lines, capturing themes of resilience, life, and identity.

Today, I dedicate my work to illuminating the vibrant stories of Southeast Asian communities. My style is heartfelt and bold, driven by a passion to inspire, heal, and amplify voices that need to be heard. I am open to collaborating on art projects within Philadelphia and welcome portrait commissions.

I hope you enjoy my art.
