Dan Lam was born in the Philippines to Vietnamese refugee parents. The small family made their way to Texas when she was just a baby and established in Houston. Later, she and her mother would move to Dallas, TX. Always one to follow her intuition and passion, she pursued an academic path in the fine arts. Dan obtained her Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas in the fall of 2010 and went on to a Master's program in Fine Arts at Arizona State University, graduating in the spring of 2014. Since her March 2014 thesis exhibition Can I Touch at the Harry Wood Gallery in Tempe, AZ, Dan has been busy participating in group shows and producing new work. She is represented by the online gallery Insituworks.com, an online marketplace which is backed by the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is currently working with Left Field SLO gallery located in San Luis Obispo, California.

Her newest work can be seen currently at Kamiposi Gallery in Midland, Texas and at Holly Johnson Gallery in Dallas, Texas. Dan has had the honor of being published twice in New American Paintings, first in the MFA Issue no. 111 as Juror’s Pick and she will be in the upcoming West Region Issue No. 120.
