About The Artist

I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea and immigrated to the U.S. in 1986 to pursue my art passion and dreams in the land of opportunity. After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, Summa Cum Laude, I continued my education in art by completing a Master’s degree in Arts with two years of full scholarship. I received both degrees from Texas Woman’s University. My paintings manifest my love of travel and study. My passion for travel has taken me to many countries, including China, India, Italy, France, England, Scotland, Belgium, and the Netherlands, to experience classic and modern art collections with reflection of different cultures and history. My artwork combines trompe l’oeil and other classical painting techniques with surreal settings of still life objects. My paintings and artwork have been displayed in a variety of businesses and schools, including North Lake College and Texas Woman’s University Denton and Houston campuses. Selected as one of the "New Dallas Nine" 2009 awards at the D-Artslam show sponsored by D-Magazine I live and work full time as an artist in Flower Mound, Texas with my husband, Mike, my mother, Choe, and my lovely maltese pet, Snowball.
