For over four decades, artist Ann Phong's paintings offered a glimpse of global challenges that reshaped her as an individual and we, as a society. Phong’s new body of work focuses on the crises amplified during the past two years of the pandemic. Phone was born in Saigon, Vietnam, settled in Southern California in 1982, and has experienced internationally since then. Ann Phong: Re-Evaluating Normal was originally organized by CSUF Nicholas + Lee Begovich Gallery, curated by Jennifer Frias Director/ Curator. The travelling version to The Doyle has been expanded by The Doyle’s director and senior curator, Tyler Stallings.
