My Le Thi

My Le Thi is a Vietnamese-Australian singer, musician and artist. Born in Buon Ma Thout, South Vietnam in 1964, she migrated to Australia in late 1985 and settled in Brisbane. My Le Thi was encouraged to pursuit art by the manager of a woman’s shelter and she enrolled to study drawing at university. My Li Thi works across new media and explores themes of loss, survival and renewal.

This month I turn fifty, soI am just now looking rather more closely than usual at Fiona Foley, Steven Heathcote, Brenda Croft, Russell Crowe, Jeff Fenech, Akira Isogawa, Lee Kernaghan, My Le Thi, Shona Wilson and Mark Taylor AO, mindful that they too were 1964 arrivals.
