I am a Hmong American woman artist and animator who now resides in the Twin Cities. I use animation as a tool to tell the oral stories from my childhood to help me connect to and engage the Hmong community. I incorporate two-dimensional arts such as woodblock prints, drawings, and paintings with my hand-drawn animation layered with contemporary music and Traditional Hmong Ni Yai style folksongs- a balance of the old and new traditions.
