Song Nguyen

Visual Art – Washington, D.C.

Born and raised in Vermont, Song has always been inspired by the colors of her natural environment. From the stark white snow against the black woods during Winter, to the vibrant reds and yellows during Fall, Vermont has brought some of the most captivating images to Song\'s visual memories. Although art classes were a favorite in high school, Song only managed to take one art class during her college years at the University of Vermont. She considers herself to be self-taught. However, she continued with her Master\'s in Public Health from The George Washington University where she developed a taste for creating murals and using art as a tool to engage communities, small and large. Aside from creating art, Song continues to advocate for under-resourced communities locally and internationally. Domestically, she works with the DC Public School system advocating for DC\'s local, future generations. Internationally, she continues to develop a love for entrepreneurship through her bamboo bicycle project in Uganda. Song recognizes the importance of linking people and communities with available resources as a means of promoting greater qualities of life, particularly through the colors of our shared environments.
