One September Day Print

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.
