John Vo ’09 painting a mural at POW! WOW! Worcester in 2021 (left) and painting at Notre Dame Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City (right).
Tucked within the offices on the third floor of Smith Hall, a silk painting hangs in Room 333. Rising from floor to ceiling, it covers most of the wall and depicts a woman standing in a small boat, her hands united in prayer as she observes a green vase emitting smoke. The artist, John Vo ’09, drew inspiration from his Vietnamese heritage.
