VERONICA PHAM

Veronica Pham is a transdisciplinary artist and educator. She received her MFA in Design Studies with a focus on textiles, papermaking and material culture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Pham works primarily within traditional craft and toolmaking practices specific to Vietnamese and Chinese histories to connect ideas of process, spiritual object forms and multi-cultural identity. The materials in her work often become environmental investigations about local ecology and place. Pham continues to work with traditional and contemporary papermakers in Vietnam, focusing on collaborative projects and research.

Recent exhibitions include Paper is People: Decolonizing Global Paper Cultures group exhibition at the San Francisco Center for the Book, which looks at paper within a global and decolonial framework, Trúc Chỉ Gallery in Huế, Merwin and Wakeley Gallery, Center for Research, Lyndon House Art Center, Center for Visual Research Gallery at Cedar Crest College and The Morgan Conservatory. Pham has also taught papermaking and fiber arts workshops at the Minnesota Center for the Book, Chazen Arts Museum, Fresh Press Paper, Center of Southeast Asian-Madison and will teach at Penland School of Craft and Ox-Bow Paper Book Intensive in 2025.
