QUYEN DINH
|
Quyen Dinh was born in Vietnam in 1977 amidst social and political oppression. Being a part of the refugee boat people generation, Quyen and her family left Vietnam and eventually found a permanent home in the suburbs of Southern California in the early 1980s. Quyen started to show talent for creativity early on; however, without the necessary family support growing up, she left art behind along with any kind of aspiration. It wasn't until 2004 when a simple painting created as a gift re-ignited her passion for art. Painting, she realised, quenched a thirst that no other work could. Since then, Quyen has returned to art with much vigour and has produced a collection of paintings heavily influenced by tattoo art and popular culture. Today, she works out of her home in Orange County, California.
