Engineer turned artist.

Born and raised in Houston Texas, Trina is the daughter of two Vietnamese parents who immigrated to the United States during the Vietnam war. She dedicated her young adult years to studying and working in the engineering field, but soon realized she had a higher calling towards the arts about a half-decade into her career.

Since then, Trina has traveled to seven different countries and has spent a substantial amount of time studying spirituality. She gives credit to her inner growth for allowing her creativity to flow freely. Trina believes in honesty, compassion, freedom of expression, and wholehearted involvement as the pillars of her truth.

In May 2022, she left her job in engineering, sold everything she owned, and booked a one way flight to Bali, Indonesia. With nothing more than two backpacks, her passport, and her camera gear, she set out on an adventure of a lifetime.

Capturing the vibrancy and color of life along the way.

Telling impactful stories and bringing visual representation to them.
