Painting

The love and passion for art ran in my family for generations. My grandfather was a well-known architect in Korea. My grandmother was also highly artistic. My father is a renowned illustrator and painter. My mother, brother and cousins are fine artists, graphic designers, architects and writers. Thus I was born and raised around art. My parents saw that I had artistic talent and drive from a young age. During high school, I attended art portfolio classes in New York City every summer. This experience gave me a chance to attend the prestigious Pratt Institute of Art, where I was able to develop my own style and expand my artistic horizons.
