Based on my academic credentials and professional hands-on experience in art, I am currently working as an art manager and instructor at the Korean School of Southern New Jersey, residing in New Jersey. Moreover, I am a member of Da Vinci Art Alliance in Philadelphia and a board member of the National Association for Korean Schools (NAKS-MAC). I have won many honorable awards, which include, the JW Young Art Award Special Selection,3 times was selected Korean Fine Arts Association, and others.Also, selected artists to celebrate D-100 days until the start of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games at Korean Cultural Center, New York, NY. I have selected exhibitions are Artrie Gallery, Korea; Seoul Art Center, Korea; KCC Gallery, NJ; Hutcheson Gallery in NY; The Art in City Hall in Philadelphia,PA ; Riverside Gallery in NJ; and others. I dreams and imagines a village and builds a small utopia through my art pieces. I gathers scraps of papers and cloth, and then produces a collage of a dreaming village of my own community. The works contain purity and innocence, sometimes express poignant state of isolated and displaces reality of the contemporary society. website: www.happyorange.com
