Kia Ora, Hello.
I am delighted to communicate with the members of the Arts Canterbury and those who love the arts itself. I am a Korean Kiwi living with my family in Christchurch since 1996.
I have painted with acrylics on canvases or stones. My style is painting landscapes in realism. I like painting nature and feel comfortable whenever I paint it because nature is my home where I came from and will return to.
I am lucky because my maternal grandfather was a famous painter both in Korea and Japan and I am descended from his DNA.
I also enjoy calligraphy with brushes and black ink, which is one of the traditional arts in Korea, China, and Japan.
I dare to hope all the art lovers feel happy with my art.
God bless you. Thanks.
