This work is one of a Memories in black and white series. Memories in black and white I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. Most of my memories of childhood are in black and white. Even the Street Signs were in black and white, black and white photography, buildings, people dressed shabby, a bare mountain, black and white newspapers for street food packing and so on... 1960s and 1970s South Korea was developing nation. Korean didn't have fancy colorful life like Korean has today. Until 1980 Korean government didn't allow the nation to sell color TV sets nor color TV broadcasting, even though Korea already had assembly line for color TV and was able to broadcasting in color. My family and I were watching shows and films in black and white like other Koreans. Especially in weekend My family and I were watching black and white western movies. Watching TV was like having family time together after having a long day. My family and I learned western culture and their ideas of beauty through bw films As a child, I created and shaped ideas of beauty in black and white.

Little about me I was born and grew up in Seoul, South Korea. Most of my memories of childhood are in black and white. The Street Signs were in black and white, black and white photography, buildings, people dressed shabby, a bare mountain, black and white newspapers for street food packing and so on... 1960s and 1970s South Korea was developing nation. Korean didn't have fancy colorful life like Korean has today. My family and I immigrated to the United States at the end of the 80's in the chaotic era of South Korea. In my late 30’s, I decided pursue my dream as a painter and studied Fine Art at Otis Art and Design College in Los Angeles. After I graduated from Otis college, I’ve been working as a graphic designer, an educator and a painter. My husband and I moved from California to Abilene Texas and lived there for about 3 years. In 2021, husband found a job in Wilmington Ohio and we moved and started a new chapter of our lives. My artwork has been showing in the several galleries in Ohio, Texas and California. My art is expressed in humor, bright colors that overlap with black and white, breaking away from the memories locked in black and white.
