Description

A delightful pair of colorful images.  Measuring approximately 15X12 inches these prints are perfect for the local-style home.  "The Emerald Bath" and "Island Blue" are wonderful examples of Phan Barker's talent.  


About the artist: Phan was born in a Catholic Village north of Hanoi, and went south with her family at the time of partition in 1954. She came to the United States in 1969. For many years she did not want to return to Vietnam because in her mind it was a place of death and sorrow. In January 1992 she was able to return with an American woman journalist friend. After a 23-year absence she was able to reestablish her relationship with her sister and her sister’s nine children and nine grandchildren. She was able to return to her native village north of Hanoi to visit her uncle and cousins and to burn incense at her mother’s grave.
