Being a Vietnamese American, my family pretty much said “You Gonna be Doctah now!”

So off I went and got a degree in Physiology and Chemistry and spent a year at Optometry school.

But my life’s passion has always been art. As I sat at my desk during my last quarter for the year, I debated hard of what to do, and realized that if given the chance, would I be happy doing art but constantly struggling? The answer was a definite yes, and I never looked back.

After leaving optometry school with good standings, I immediately went to art school and attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I custom tailored my curriculum to give me the best tools I’d need for an industry career in entertainment. I drew over 100 hours a week, eating, sleeping, and breathing art. You would always find me in the streets of San Francisco, at 11 PM sitting on the sidewalks sketching people as they walk pass by.

All that work paid off as I got my first offer, and then my second, and from there, my career as an artist has flourished to over 20 years of industry experience.

This website is a collection of some of that work, and I hope anyone who is viewing this or reading this right now, enjoy what I’ve done and created.

If you have any questions, or just want to chat about art, feel free to contact me!
