VALERIE TRUC-MAI NGUYEN, OCSA SENIOR

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Valerie Nguyen, 17 years old. My love for art stems from its' influence and how it bleeds into every aspect imaginable subject, including one of my favorites, chemistry.

I love all things storytelling, novels, comic books, movies, myths and folk legends, and it is my hope that I will contribute my own story to the world one day.

My policy for making art is something that Marie Kondo would be proud of, if it doesn't bring me joy, then I start over. I strive for a result of feeling and motion over cleanliness and perfection, and above all I want to suggest the start of a story that the viewer finishes themselves.

EDUCATION

I am currently a student at the Orange County School of Arts (OCSA) in Santa Ana, CA. I have experience working in a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic, digital, mixed media, and ceramics! Throughout my high school career, I have pursued who I want to be as an artist, and I am excited to see how I grow!
