In Asian culture, there is front and back. There is a face you put on on the outside and the face you reveal within. The thin veil of the Japanese Shoji paper door can be opaque. An Asian American like myself has to carry on her shoulder a heavy load of cultural baggage no matter how long I exist in America. We all came from somewhere. We all have our own respective cultural and familial histories that shaped us and sometimes we find ourselves trapped in that gap between the structure of a Shoji door like cultural bar, not quite in or out but stuck in between.

Gina Son is a Korean-American Cafe-Scene Painter based in Honolulu. A global nomad, she has lived, worked and experienced observing people and sampling the ambiance in cafes in Paris, Rome, London, Tokyo, Seoul and Santorini. Gina has always been artistically inclined since her childhood, winning awards in her early formative years (e.g. the National Artistic Gold Key award in high school). She has taken art throughout her education. Being romantic at heart, she is deeply influenced by the 19th C. Impressionism masters such as Renoir and Degas, Monet and their depictions of femeninity. As a perpetual dreamer, she endeavors to paint the beauty of human connections, shared affinity, positive and in hopeful messages of love and a life-well-lived in her paintings.
