This month’s artist featured in the Gallery is Soo Kim, a mixed media artist working with pigmented alcohol inks and using a heat gun to create “flow” across the page, creating composition as they dry. Soo blends colors or adds touches of gold and fine lines to create a story. Her exhibition, through the month of November, can be seen during regularly scheduled Library Hours.
Soo Kim was born in Korea and educated in California during her elementary school years. When she returned home, she spent six years at Sunhwa Art School in Seol, the most prominent fine arts school in the country. Through the school’s international affiliation, she then studied at Parsons School of Design in New York City. Joining the fashion industry, she became an art director for Revlon. She spent time building brand stories for fragrance brands and executed campaign concepts from start to finish. Most often she would collaborate with artists and illustrators, and this led her back to her roots to become a full-time artist/teacher.
