From an early age, my family called me the "Little Scavenger" because I was always collecting random bits and pieces that others dismissed as junk. Where they saw useless scraps, I saw potential. One memorable summer day in 2016, this creative impulse led me to sneak into my mom’s room in search of parchment paper for a sticker-making project. I got caught red-handed and received a well-deserved scolding, teaching me a valuable lesson: creativity should be balanced with respect for others' boundaries.
Over time, my love for crafting only grew. I made clay from scratch, experimented with keychain materials (nearly burning one project in the oven!), and built scenes from cardboard. Then, during the COVID-19 quarantine, I discovered digital art. Though I didn’t have a tablet, I learned to create on my phone, adapting to its limitations. Each challenge pushed me to find new ways to express my ideas, strengthening both my creativity and resilience.
Inspired by my journey, I want to start a project called “Little Scavenger,” where I would teach kids and adults to make art—collages, stop-motion, and more—using everyday objects. My goal is to show others that art isn’t about expensive materials; it’s about discovering the beauty in things all around us. Just as I once scoured my home for hidden treasures, I hope to inspire others to see the potential in the overlooked.

ABOUT ME

My name is Emily Le Quynh Huong

My passion
Once, I was a joyful, open-hearted child, always smiling and embracing the world with a boundless spirit. I thrived on afternoons spent running wild with friends in the park, immersing ourselves in spirited games and bringing our bold ideas to life.But ever since I moved to a new school, all of that seemed to fade away. Suddenly, I was surrounded by an unfamiliar environment, by faces I didn’t recognize, and by skeptical glances that left me feeling like I had wandered into a world that wasn’t mine. In this new universe, I felt untethered, adrift without a sense of belonging.
Though I tried to blend in, it wasn’t long before mocking laughs and disdainful stares eroded every trace of confidence I had left. They taunted me for having no standout talent, and my slightly foreign accent became the object of relentless, biting jokes. In those moments, I felt as if the whole world had turned its back on me, and the once-brilliant colors of life dulled to a dismal gray. I began to lose sight of myself, of the dreams I’d once nurtured so passionately
Over time, my passion for art grew. I began experimenting with different media—pencils, acrylics, and watercolors. Each piece became a story, a message brimming with hope and positivity that I wanted to share with others.
