Hello, I'm Vivian T-N Ho.

Vivian T-N Ho is the artist and pen name of Truc-Nhu Ho​,​ PhD. I am a Vietnamese-American painter who displayed an artistic talent during my early years in Hue​,​ Vietnam. In addition to my formal art training at the University of Utah​,​ I have a BA in French (University of Michigan at Ann Arbor)​,​ an MA in criminal justice (Sacramento State University)​,​ and a PhD in the same field from Rutgers​,​ The State University of New Jersey. After 20 years of successful university teaching in the US and the publication of my dissertation-based book​,​ To Catch an Art Thief: A Memoir on the Heyday of Art Theft​,​ I returned to the art world to realize my wish to paint full time. My goal is to combine what I love most in art: The simplicity of classical figurative painting and the exuberant use of colors in contemporary abstract painting. Lastly​,​ I hope my cultural and educational backgrounds have enriched my work! For a complete list of my work and for purchasing fine art prints​,​ visit www.viviant-n-ho.Pixels.com
