Born in Manila to a Vietnamese family who relocated to Texas when she was a child, Dan spent her formative creative years in Dallas with her mother. She received her B.F.A. in 2010 from the University of North Texas and later completed a Masters of Fine Arts degree at Arizona State University.

Dan currently resides in Dallas, Texas, where she works primarily alone in her studio at her home. She finds peace and solace in her creative process during the late night hours. Having the accessibility to work and live in the same space allows her to move back and forth freely and comfortably in her own controlled chaos. Her sculptures also live amongst her. From her bookshelf to the top of a file cabinet, her “what are theys” are everywhere around her and become living, breathing organisms of the unique environment she has created for herself to live within.
