Original Artwork
About the Artwork:
Dear M, D, F and V, When I was your age, I loved making origami. The first thing I ever learned to fold was paper stars, and your Ông and Bà (Grandpa and Grandma) were the ones who taught me. I loved folding paper balloons and cranes and collecting them in jars. So nowadays, when I see you and your friends making paper creations, I'm reminded of those afternoons spent folding beside your Ông and Bà. These paintings are my way of holding onto those moments a little longer. 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.
