“I am thrilled to be able to paint. The object of my painting is light. What light does to the color and form never ceases to fascinate me. Light provides endless possibilities. They are momentary but can be explored and enjoyed by observation and interpretation. It is a privilege to ponder and attempt to communicate it in my paintings.”

A native of Korea, HeeJune came to USA to study nutrition. With a master’s degree in public health nutrition, she is now pursuing the study of painting.  HeeJune is a signature member of MN Watercolor Society. She received many awards including First honors. Her paintings were accepted at the Fine Art Exhibition, at the MN State Fair in 2002 and 2008.  After working with watercolors exclusively for 10+ years, she has discovered oils  just as  fascinating.  Particularly she relishes the intimacy and immediacy of stokes that a palette knife brings to a canvas. Through her interest in art history and travels to museums around the world, she is inspired to become a representational artist of the post impressionism era with an emphasis on visual perception of color.  Her original paintings, prints, and cards are available at SEMVA art gallery.
