Artist Statement: I am mostly a self-taught artist, working primarily "en plein air" when the weather permits. I also work from photos, but only of places where I've actually been. Based in Brooklyn, I usually look for subjects nearby. My goal in painting is to capture the spirit of a scene at a particular instance, noticing the mundane which can give simple pleasure, whether in the gritty, industrial zone by the Gowanus Canal or in a historic brownstone residential neighborhood. Being fully aware and in the moment is a critical part of my Korean heritage and integral to my art-making process.
