Linh VH Nguyen is a queer Vietnamese-Canadian visual artist based in Ottawa, working on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation. Her practice examines how memory, identity, and emotion are carried through the body and material form, with a focus on personal and intergenerational experience.

Working across collage, cyanotype, and digital image-making, Nguyen draws from family photographs, archival material, and organic remnants to explore how images and objects hold, transform, and transmit meaning over time. Through layering and recomposition, her work reflects on fragmentation, attachment, and the desire for coherence within lived experience.

Her work has been presented at Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, Ottawa Art Gallery, Etobicoke Civic Centre Art Gallery, Digital Arts Resource Centre, and Axeneo7. Her work is held in public and private collections, including the City of Ottawa collection. She acknowledges the support of the City of Ottawa, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Canada Council for the Arts.
