Wash Over Me Print

Ahn Hee works and lives in Austin, TX. Ahn Hee received her BFA in Visual communications at University of Delaware and her MPS in Art Therapy while in NYC, previously working as Art Therapist and Reiki Practitioner before relocating. Her past work with survivors of trauma mixed with her intuitive process and nature, pushed Ahn Hee towards exploring her own experiences through a creative journey dedicated to healing. Her use of bright colors and texture invites a warm and calming focal point, aiming for a safe space for the viewer to settle the eye. Ahn Hee’s self- declared ‘Uncharted flow’, meaning the pieces in her recent collection are meant to display movement, healing recovery, warming, calming and free flowing energy. The pieces capture the feelings and a moment without an intended destination or end point. Other themes in her work include a unbound story or an experience, movement and dance as well as the element of water and nature. Ahn Hee’s relies heavily on process for each individual piece not typically knowing where the piece will end and be complete. Her style continuously shifts with her energy and reflects her inward past experiences and her journey towards processing her adoption and exploring her Irish and Korean identity more fully. Ahn Hee’s mission is to provide healing through her art and present herself as authentic as she can to her community and art viewers!
