“My family had to leave Vietnam because my uncles fought alongside the Aussies.” — Anh Do

I just used to make up stories for the kids at bedtime and my wife goes, 'you should start putting that stuff down.' It's such a joy to do.

When I paint at home with friends, I have a chat and it's just a good time.

Painting is a lonely, mostly solitary act.

I find myself chatting with my paintings, not deep and meaningful stuff, but things like 'hey there buddy' and 'oh, look what I did to your nose!'
