Bio

Born in South Korea, she moved to Boston, Massachusetts, in 2004, carrying with her a deep curiosity that bridged science and art. Though she majored in chemistry at a university in Seoul, her enduring thirst for creativity led her to explore the tactile language of clay. After settling in Boston, she began her journey in ceramics at the Harvard Ceramic Studio and has continued to refine her craft at Glen Echo Pottery in Maryland.
Her dedication to ceramics has been recognized through numerous exhibitions and awards. She received the Park View Artist Award at Glen Echo Park in 2018, followed by a solo exhibition at Park View Gallery in 2019. Her works have been featured in the Creative Craft Council Biennial (2021, 2023, 2025), Clay International at Workhouse Art Center (2021, 2023), and Teapot IX Biennial at Baltimore Clayworks (2021).
In 2024, her ceramics were selected for Earth & Fire at the Stifel Fine Art Center and Last Call IX, X and XI at The Companion Gallery. Her matte crystalline vases have also been exhibited at the 31st, 33rd and 34th  Strictly Functional Pottery National, Little Lush at the Light House Art Center, and Craft Form 2025 at the Wayne Art Center. Through her work, she continues to explore the intersection of form, material, and emotion. Also at Chalie Cumming Gallery.

Artist Statement

Clay is a responsive medium that can be precisely shaped with wet hands and the motion of the wheel. It allows me to create any form I envision, offering both comfort and excitement in the process of making.

My goal is to share the joy of creation with others and convey the emotions I experience through my work. I focus on exploring the beauty of lines—particularly the elegance of curves—to express harmony, balance, and comfort. The pursuit of creating graceful and meaningful forms remains a constant commitment in my artistic journey, and I take great satisfaction in sharing this vision with others.
