Peach State Painting

Jaeyoun Shin is a visual artist with an MFA in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design, Atlanta (2016). Shin incorporates watercolour, acrylic, Asian paper collage, and other media to portray the fragility, sensitivity, and complexity of memories, emotions, and thoughts expressed in her works. Collectively, the paintings are interconnected mindscapes that challenge the idea of personal identity and emotion. Her works describe different boundaries of safe and unsafe environments and various senses of vulnerability. Each work intends to transform the spaces and objects from familiar to unfamiliar and lets the viewers see different relations and perspectives. Her work has been exhibited in galleries, auctions, art fairs, museums, institutions, private collections, and Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport in Korea, India, and mainly in the United States. Shin is now based in Seoul, South Korea.
