She has been awarded Certificates of Merit Artist and Outstanding Honor, Teaching Methods for the Hue University Art Department in 1995-1997, 1999-2001, 2003-2004, and 2004-2006. Vinh's work is in collections around the world, including those in Europe, Canada, Malaysia, Germany, Finland, France, Thailand, America, and Australia.
In reference to the history of traditional Asian silk painting, particularly in Vietnamese silk painting, from the 19th century to the 21st century, artists have been influenced by traditional drawing techniques. As developments in art continue to expand in Vietnam, Vinh acknowledges her need as an instructor to innovate the curriculum’s teaching method, by introducing “New forms of silk painting” at Hue University. Her intention is to challenge traditional approaches to silk painting by aggressively activating the silk material itself -- primarily the properties of transparency and translucency, in combination with fiber, yarn, painted and drawn imagery. Her works have been influenced by various traditions and modern techniques, maintaining an individual style, seeking out inventive techniques to further expand the bounds of Vietnamese art. Her goal is to create three-dimensional structures that incorporate multiple hanging panels which allow the viewer’s vision to penetrate through the transparent and translucent layers.
Vinh's silk sculptures are used as a medium express culture, expertise, and experiences. Her research broadens the realm of possibilities for the construction and properties of silk painting for both Eastern and Western viewers, relating to historical and contemporary art contexts.
