I’ve been painting and drawing most of my life, but took an unintentional break a few years ago because it was hard to find my creativity and it felt like I hit a wall. But after having my son in 2021, I found myself on a new path of self discovery which led me to explore my Korean culture in a deeper way, while also reconnecting with my love for creating art. In the last year, my identity as an artist has become more solidified, and I feel like I’m exactly where I need to be at this moment in time.

I’ve slowly started finding my style all over again and am growing more confident each day in making space as an artist. Additionally, my art has brought me closer to my Korean culture and understanding my background/roots. So much of this has been inspired by my son, because I want him to be proud of who he is and confident in his abilities as he grows which in turn has made me want to practice what I preach. It has been a beautiful journey so far, and I’m excited to keep continuing on this path where each painting or learned knowledge of my culture adds yet another piece of the puzzle that makes me whole.
