My art is intimacy. I try to make art with warm heart.

Being young, I thought the painting that looked realistic was good art. I started painting when I was in high school in Korea with watercolor, which helped me to discover a new passion for expressing emotion in art. I was trained to make realistic pictures and was applauded for my attention to detail.

I came to the U.S. for college. Not like Korea, the art classes here were more focused on feeling and emotion. I made myself loose from making realistic painting. I found that No matter what mood I was in while painting, subconsciously I would produce bright and beautiful arts. I tried transcending from reality to pure feelings, leaving the copy machine mentality behind and grasping the human spirit.

I want to produce the art that makes people feel warm.

I want to produce the art that carries intimacy.

My hunger has taken me to try out diverse art techniques such as painting, drawing, ceramic, sculpture, etching, collage, illustration, body works...

I see media as a platform that can be open to everyone. I want to use media as my new medium for art and especially to learn working on web production.

I believe my own art world will continue to expand with the new medium.
