About the Artwork:

Dear M, D, F and V, Looking back, I don't actually remember most of the things I folded as a child. I couldn't tell you where the paper stars ended up or what happened to the cranes and balloons I kept in jars. What I do remember is sitting beside your Ông and Bà, learning fold after fold, and feeling impossibly proud whenever something flat became something I could hold. Funny how it's never really the paper we remember—it's the people sitting beside us. Love always, Mummy xo

About the Artist:

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.

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.
