Yurim Gough

Yurim Gough is an award-winning ceramic artist from South Korea. She worked in Seoul, Tokyo and London as a successful shoe designer before emigrating to the UK, where her fascination with different media led her to discover her creative voice. Yurim began to work on delicate ceramic bowls, overlaying expressive life drawings with contemporary images.

Her first exhibition was in 'The Other Art Fair' at the Arnolfini in Bristol. In 2016, Yurim was diagnosed with breast cancer.
