About Trang

Trang Huynh is an emerging mixed-media artist from Vietnam, currently based in Baltimore, MD. She earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she received several awards, including the Creative Vision Award, Starr Foundation Scholarship, and Distinguished International Award. Her work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions, including Artscape B24 in Baltimore, MD, and Asia in Maryland in Towson, MD. She is currently a resident artist at Creative Alliance in Baltimore.

Inspired by historical narratives and her personal experiences as part of the Vietnamese post-war generation, Trang’s work delves into themes of inherited trauma, colonial oppression, and the enduring capacity for healing and love. Through a combination of oil painting, linoleum printing, collage, and laser-cut elements, she creates densely layered compositions that merge figurative imagery with settings drawn from memories, inviting viewers into deeply emotive and thought-provoking spaces.
