Although I was born in Boston, MA, I lived in Korea until I returned to the U.S. to attend high school. In Korea, I attended the Yewon School, an art magnet school where I began my studies in fine arts. For high school, I went to Hawaii Preparatory Academy for one year before transferring to the Madeira School in McLEan, Virginia where I finished my high school education. Then, I went to Harvard for my undergraduate where I continued my interest with drawing, painting, and film classes, as well as art history classes. At TC, I have challenged myself by taking studio classes including digital photography and ceramics-materialsI never used before.
I am grateful for having a variety of art experiences in a wide range of education regimens because I had very limited choices of media and styles in Korea. Although the school offered classes for different media including sculpture, acrylic painting, oil painting, and calligraphy, I remember spending most of the time drawing plaster casts of Venus and Agrippa. However, my background experience with new media is slim to none. As mentioned before, I have dabbled in digital photography and video but I feel more comfortable using traditional media.
I believe the possibilities of using new media and traditional art practices independently or together are numerous. I will be using this blog for artistic inspiration and education. I hope you will be inspired too.
