Soyoung Jung
Soyoung Jung, originally from South Korea, now lives and works as an artist in Champaign, Illinois. She earned an MFA degree in Fine Arts from Purdue University and explores themes of memory, place, and cultural identity in her work. Her artistic journey has grown out of her shift from place to place in the U.S. This has led her to portray emotional and psychological landscapes representing her surroundings and figurative subjects. Inspired by her home country, South Korea, she uses traditional Korean materials such as mulberry paper, calligraphy ink and watercolors to create evocative visual narratives. Through practicing a traditional Korean painting method in her work, Jung seeks to demonstrate a cross-cultural perspective.
