Since 2016, I have been working on a project called the "1000 Crane Project" because of my childhood love for origami.  When I wasn't drawing or painting, I was constantly folding origami.  Cranes are also a symbol of good fortune, happiness and longevity in Korean culture.  I decided on the title because of the legend that 1000 cranes could grant a person one wish or even eternal happiness. 

​

Cranes have been an apt subject matter in my life because rediscovering my passion for painting began as a way to cope with my miscarriages and difficulties with infertility.  I am a firm believer that art can provide healing, and I want to be able to help others heal by providing a sense of sentimentality and humor through my art process and experiences.
