Artist Statement

I am a Cambodian-American artist born and raised in the Bay Area. I mostly work in oil and acrylic but have recently been trying new mediums. In my work, I depict the mundane and routine moments in life and shift them into a softer lens. Daily actions like preparing a meal, or a plant grown in a Kikkoman bucket may not seem special, but carry a sense of nostalgia and affection. A central theme of my practice is family life and its unique peculiarities. Through my art, I aim to evoke a sense of tenderness, comfort, and familiarity.
