RECOGNITION


My mother has painted for thirty years
— not for fame, not for a career, but because she simply couldn't stop.

She is not a fine arts graduate.
She is a woman from Cheongju, Korea, who picked up a brush and never put it down.

Over three decades, she has filled canvas after canvas with flowers, landscapes, and abstract worlds — entering juried competitions, showing in galleries, and quietly building a body of work that most people have never seen.

Until now.

I am her daughter. I grew up watching her paint — early mornings, late nights, weekends, holidays.

These paintings are not inventory.
They are thirty years of my mother's life, stacked in her studio.

I am sharing them with the world,
because they deserve walls — not storage.

Each original work ships worldwide with a handwritten story card.

Self-taught artist, Cheongju, Korea.
30 years of continuous practice in Western oil painting
Member of multiple juried fine arts associations across Korea
