Thao Huynh French is an artist, muralist, and photographer. Born in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, she lives and works in San Diego, CA. She is best known for co-founding Mindful Murals™ with her husband, where together they’ve painted over 300 community murals for schools and public spaces all over California. In addition to painting murals, she develops projects that intersect social justice, paints commissions, and displays artwork in galleries.
In this episode, Thao shares her journey of co-founding Mindful Murals with her husband. She reveals why she left the corporate world to pursue art full-time, which was stifling her creativity. Through self-teaching, researching, and the support of her husband, she learned how to paint murals.
Her work explores different varieties of flowers, her family history, and her Asian American heritage. Her art is a mixture of abstract and figurative concepts that are often broad and contrasting in style and medium ways with no limitation of color. Her work continues to evolve, using her training in traditional painting and figurative drawing to experiment with more modern ways to create art styles that are uniquely hers.
