I was born and raised in South Korea. I worked as an art teacher in middle schools for about 10 years, where I felt the need to help students in my unique way. That led me to study abroad in the US to advance my study in art therapy at Loyola Marymount University.

“In my life as an artist, I discovered a sanctuary of healing within the realm of colors and forms. That’s what I wanted to share with the world when I started the journey to become an art therapist. Shedding the rigid confines of expectations, I unearthed transformative energies residing within my brush strokes.”
