Modern Meliora

Release: 05.20.26 (5:01)

Seattle artist Truc-Quan Nguyen, founder of Modern Meliora, reflects on building a creative life shaped by the Pacific Northwest. Filmed on the cobblestone at Pike Place, this episode of Madinah In The Market traces her path from academia to the studio.

Nguyen discusses the evolution of her work—from resin to watercolor, gouache, and acrylic—and the significance of meeting collectors face-to-face. The conversation arrives as she begins a six-month residency at 5th & Pike Studios through Shunpike Arts.
