Her numerous sculptures and paintings have graced prominent exhibitions, gaining her a cult following who is always clamoring for Duong’s highly provocative and insightful self portraits.
As one of the creative forces helping to keep the New York City artistic movement active, Duong’s work exemplifies boldness that can only be found in the artist’s whose visions are realized in a medium, without traditional technique coming into play.

This is where most of her works’ exhibitions are held, the latest of which was the one held in the Sonnabend Gallery. Her signature works are her self portraits, which she has described as her way of writing in a diary.

From her very first exhibit held in 1999, she has regularly presented art collections that provocatively capture the images of her life.
