Merlot is a graffiti artist born and raised in Seattle, Washington. Painting since 2007, she has established herself through her uniquely simplified approach, rooted in traditional bar-style graffiti that has proven timeless. Her Vietnamese heritage, diverse background in graphic design, and love for art have enabled her to experiment with letterforms and compositions, allowing the work produced to be well-balanced and compliment the surrounding environment. As an established creative director, Merlot brings a different perspective to her work. Her eye for detail and ability to visualize the end result early on helps set her work apart from others. She embraces obstacles that arise, using them as opportunities for growth and pushing her artistic boundaries further.
