Kayla Dang

Multimedia Artist & Animator

I’m a queer Vietnamese-American artist and animator born in Texas, currently based in Dallas. I focus on creating digital art and 2D/3D animation but I also enjoy watercolor and traditional mediums as well. My work is unapologetically about myself and my experiences, focusing around my struggle with mental health and otherness. Despite that I do love cute and silly too!
