Hey, I'm Thanh!
I’m a Vietnamese artist now based in the U.S., and my passion lies in blending my love for food with watercolor art. My food designs have gained quite a following, transforming recipes into beautiful watercolor masterpieces. What started as a hobby during the pandemic soon turned into a flourishing creative career. With extra time at home, I found joy in drawing, which led to significant growth on social media. I truly value the flexibility and freedom in my work, and I’ve been drawn to watercolor for its simplicity and minimal investment. Through my art, I aim to tell stories with intricate details, celebrating the rich culinary culture of Vietnam that means so much to me.
Vietnam has a deep food heritage, where gastronomy is an integral part of everyday life. During the pandemic, as many people returned to cooking at home and rediscovered traditional recipes, I channeled this shift into my art, creating detailed recipe cards that honor these culinary traditions. My watercolor illustrations often focus on the ingredients themselves, reflecting my admiration for those who cook and create. The scarcity of certain ingredients during the pandemic made many of us more mindful of food's value, something I strive to capture in my work. Lately, I’ve been emphasizing ingredient illustration, highlighting the preciousness of food and the love involved in preparing it.
What resonates most with my audience is the personal touch I add, especially with my handwritten notes, which have become a signature element of my brand. I take great pride in creating meaningful recipe cards that combine watercolor illustrations with handwritten stories. My work not only helps preserve cherished family traditions but also underscores the importance of food during challenging times like the pandemic.
