About her work, Thuy says:

“For the past few years at Roger Williams, I have switched gears in an unexpected journey of starting in architecture to studying the arts.  The creativity flowed from my conceptual ideas to producing art from my fingertips.  I was able to share my vision through the diverse exploration of mediums such as painting, traditional wood-block printing, film photography and digital media.  I have acquired a collection of work that relates to my personal life and expresses who I am becoming as a young artist. These selected compositions encounter the ideas of self-identity, Vietnamese heritage, and my grandmother who loved to share her stories. Now it is my time to tell my story.”
