Original Artwork
About the Artwork:
Dear M, D, F and V, I remembered something today. When I was a child, I thought a ream of printing paper was so precious and scarce. As Vietnamese immigrants, we couldn’t afford many extras, so to me, having paper to be creative was a luxury. But perhaps now that I'm a parent myself, I wonder if there was another reason…maybe your Ông and Bà (Grandpa and Grandma) simply thought your Aunt and I only used paper to make a mess and decided never to buy us paper again. Love always, Mummy xo

About the Artist
Catherine’s paintings begin with something real—a gesture, a shadow, an object, a memory. She paints the familiar not to distort it, but to reveal the deeper stories they quietly hold.
Catherine Nguyen-Hoang is a contemporary artist whose paintings begin with something real—a gesture, a shadow, a memory. She paints the familiar not to distort it, but to reveal the deeper stories they quietly hold.
Working primarily in oils, Catherine explores themes of memory, identity, and emotional weight through a lens that blends realism with subtle surrealism. Her compositions often feature everyday objects and spaces, transformed by context and metaphor to evoke inner tension, cultural complexity, and lived experience.
Catherine’s work has been recognised in several national art prizes, including the National Emerging Art Prize, the SALA Don Dunstan Foundation Awards, and the Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize. Her paintings have been acquired through private commissions and one is currently on display at the University of Adelaide, South Australia.
