The Meaning:
Vanthay published these books to share stories that would impact young people within his community. Finding Your Moon was a reminder to children who had to move that they are good enough no matter where they go.
The mission:
Vanthay’s goal for Finding the Coconut was to publish a book with illustration of a child that looked like he was mixed Black and Southeast Asian. His goal for Finding Your Moon was a reminder to young children that they are good enough through the lens of a Cambodian immigrant.
Digital Paintings
The Meaning:
Each portrait is digitally painted and is unique to the individual. The foreground highlight the person. The background provides clues, contexts and things that is significant to the individual. The subjects are regular people in Vanthay’s life or famous people that he admires or deems interesting.

Places My Father Would Have Loved - Photography
The Meaning:
My father lost his battle with Lung Cancer in 2017. He was a man that dedicated his life to family and extended community. Having to work sometimes 4 jobs at once to support others, he rarely had the means or time to travel. My amateur travel photography is dedicated to him.
