TRAN NGUYEN is a Georgia-based award-winning illustrator & fine artist. Born in Can Tho, Vietnam and raised in the States, she received a BFA in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design. Having deep interest in therapeutic imagery, her work frequently depicts milieus of adversity in which we deal with day to day.

Nguyen’s paintings are created with a soft, delicate quality using colored pencil and acrylic on paper. She’s most known for her paintings of whimsical women and their melancholic landscapes, which often possess an air of fantasy and surrealism. She creates illustrations for published media such as magazines, books, wine & beer packaging, animation, advertising, and mural work. Her clients include VH1, Tiger Beer, World Wildlife Fund, and she has showcased with galleries across the world.
