Hung has been painting for over 25 years. An immigrant from Vietnam he came to the U.S. in 1975. At a very young age Hung was an inspired artist and was passionate about drawing. He took the first step to follow his dream and enrolled in a painting class at South Side High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After an extensive training in Arts and Design at Indiana University, he went on to become a designer for Boeing, KIRO TV, KING TV and Walt Disney Internet Group in Seattle. During his career as a designer, Hung found the time to fulfill his desire to paint and exhibited his work in art galleries, museums and juried art shows. He now combines his love for nature, outdoor activities and art to create watercolor paintings full time. Hung's work reflects a sense of peace, tranquility, and harmony between human and nature.
