Artist Bui Thanh Thuy was born in 1971, she graduated from the University of Fine Arts in 1995. Thanh Thuy was born into a family with artistic traditions. Her father is writer Bui Binh Thi, author of many famous novels, especially "Xieng Khoang fog". Her mother is artist Nguyen Thi My, her brother is a famous film director Bui Thac Chuyen, so it is not difficult to understand that she also follows family art tradition with passion for creativity.

However, Bui Thanh Thuy came to the professional path quite late with a struggling time before choosing art as the final destination. Only when she followed her daughter to the US in April 2013, did she begin to create painting, but it became more sublimated than countless expert artists in the profession. She described the thoughtful movements of her life, the lustrous flows of memories, time and the universe, the transitions of her own mind and the perspective that illuminated her life.
