Welcome to my blog!!

Hello and welcome to lequyenart.com!

I am excited to share my art, ideas, investigations, and pursuits in life with you on this website and blog. It is a new venture for me to dedicate my life and work to art. Art, travel, adventures in the outdoors has been my passions since childhood. But similar to many of you reading this, economic circumstances and a lack of belief in my creativity led me to pursue the safer route of a 9-to-5 profession. After years of working in academia as an administrator and seeing all the inequities of higher education, I decided last year to walk away from my job. With the backdrop of COVID and the social landscape of injustices and inequities, I like so many Americans (and probably others around the world) simply had had enough and left my economic security. It was a long winding road of ups-and-downs to get here. But here I am! With all the vulnerabilities and insecurities of living a life with less money and stuff, I step toward the horizon with both elation and trepidation. And I invite you on this journey. Visit this blog for news on my art and inspirations, overlanding travels, and hiking adventures.

This watercolor sketch “Adventures w/Humboldt,” 2022, represents the adventures awaiting me and my partner as we seek the unknowns and experiences this year and beyond.

Peace & Love,
