About Me – Thao Le
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website.
If you're reading this, you're likely interested in learning more about me. My name is Thao Le, and I am a visual artist currently living and working in Dallas, Texas, USA.
My artistic journey began in Vietnam, where I earned a Bachelor's degree after six years at the University of Fine Arts. Following graduation, I ran my own studio in my hometown, creating commissioned works such as murals, sculptures, paintings, and public monuments for both private companies and government organizations. My work has been featured in various magazines, newspapers, and television programs in Vietnam and internationally.
In 1997, I moved to the United States to pursue a degree in 3D art and computer graphics at The Art Institute of Dallas. I graduated with honors in 2001 and began my professional career at LucasArts, where I contributed to several Star Wars video game titles. In 2004, I joined EA Games in Los Angeles, working on well-known franchises including Medal of Honor, GoldenEye, and The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth series. In 2008, I returned to Dallas to join id Software, where I have since worked on major titles such as Rage, Doom and Quake Champions.
While my daily work focuses on 3D art and game development, I remain deeply passionate about traditional art forms. In my free time, I continue to paint, sculpt, and explore new creative projects—including developing my own line of scale model robot mech toys.
In summary, art has always been at the heart of my life. I embrace all forms of creativity—whether it's traditional oil painting, sculpting, digital art, or building original toy designs. As long as I have the opportunity to create, I am fulfilled.
