[ Minhwa Painter ]
 Out of nowhere, I had a dream to express myself with painting.
What was the most personal art for me? It was Minhwa.
 I remember when I got fascinated with Lotus and lovebirds painting when I was 14 in art class. 
 Now, I realized it is the best way to express myself colorfully by painting Minhwa with each figures from symbols of happiness, folk mythology and various things in order to convey messages and wish for good things to happen. 
I aim for showing all of the figures, ranging from korea to Australia with my colors as a first Melbourne Minhwa painter.

 To make my own stories, I am the keeper in-between.

 Not only I would like to share my journey in the Art field but I would like to share the value of Minhwa in Australia and all over the world.
