I believe there is an artist in each and every one of us. The style of art is enriched by one’s own culture and his/her own life experience. As an Inspiring artist in my teen years. I had many opportunities to learn from different art teachers. But it is just in the last few years I discovered what the art truly means to me.

 I moved to the United States in 1983, got married and led a busy life like everyone else. Going though the normal ups and downs of the life journey. I have learned another form of art – art of life. Now I am enjoying my new opportunity to practice art, not just for the skills, but to show my life experiences through drawing and painting.

I love all types of drawings but I like watercolor art the best. I use everyday items as my drawing object such as vegetables, fruits, trees or buildings. I believe there is beauty in simple things. Watercolor soothes me, and I feel calm when I am in front of the easel.

 The artist in me was hidden deep inside of me, suppressed by the day to day responsibilities and stress. I am so glad I rediscovered it through my association with Korean American Artists Association of Washington and through Harmony of Color.

I hope I can share my joy with the viewers through my work.
