Helen Dang is a Vietnamese-American artist based in Santa Cruz, California. She holds a B.S. in Bioengineering from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she discovered a passion at the intersection of science, art, and communication.

In 2019–2020, Helen took a sabbatical to travel and explore, visiting over 30 countries. This time deeply influenced her creative perspective and ultimately guided her towards developing her art practice in ceramics and plein air watercolor painting. 

Today, Helen works as the Science Program Manager for Stanford University's Department of Bioengineering. In her spare time, she can often be found painting en plein air, capturing the landscapes of Northern California.
