I came to the United States from Sai Gon, Viet Nam in 1975. I graduated from University of California at Berkeley with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. My origami pieces were sold to Bay Area private collectors, Roundtree Visuals in Emeryville, The
Alameda County Arts Commission, the City of Mountain View's Visual Arts Commission, and the City of Hayward's Library.

As a child growing up in Viet Nam, I learned paper folding to make my own toys when I was about ten
and now I incorporate it into my artwork using recycled materials.
My artworks concentrate on the themes of nature and environmental stewardship through the use of
recycled materials, and on illustrating the multifaceted interactions between man and nature, plant and
animal, pattern, shape and color.
My Origami also highlight the innate tensions between pattern and regularity of form, irregularity,
spontaneity and emotion. I stress the use of recycled materials in order to show that art can be
both sustainable and affordable, and my goal of having my works displayed publicly, is to drive this
environmental message forward for the public benefit. I am very committed and passionate about
practicing and using the three Rs: reuse, reduce and recycle and my origami works reflect that
dedication and uniqueness that comes out of it.
