Dawn's appreciation of color and shapes began in early childhood and continued through graduation from Seoul National University, College of Fine Art, in Seoul, Korea.
Her work was first recognized in Korean National Art Exhibition as well as various Art group shows.
This acceptance further inspired Dawn to expand her artistic ambitions and continue her art studies in the United States with nationally well known artists and their workshops.

“My diverse and colorful paintings are statements covering everything from flora and fauna to geometric, from art deco to simple expression of color influenced by hues of the seasons with a contemporary semi-abstract approach, and from textile studies. I also enjoy painting on various kinds of fabric creating one of a kind wearable art.”
