I came back to painting in 2024 — not by choice, but out of grief. My father died while I was in COVID quarantine. I heard his last breath over the phone.

I'm a South Philly artist, a Marine veteran, the son of Thai immigrants who never quite fit into either world. Art found me young. Life pulled me away. Loss brought me back.

I paint Southeast Asian communities. I'm putting them on gallery walls.
