Sun was born in South Korea, moved to the USA in 1976 and is a longtime resident of Olympia, WA. She is a “forever student” in quest of Asian art.
Sun’s artistic aspiration was sparked at young age, but her artistry was not rediscovered until her retirement after 60 years of education, teaching, marriage, motherhood and WA state service.
After many years of studying ink brush painting, Chinese Gong-bi, Shaye, Korean MunInHwa and Calligraphy Sun discovered freedom from adherence to their formalities. A deep appreciation for the beauty, movement and tranquility found in nature is revealed in her work. Black ink and brush strokes bring this experience to life on rice paper.
Sun had four solo shows and many of her work is shown at group exhibitions of Puget Sound Sumi Artists, Olympia Art League and Pacific Gallery Artists and Korean American Artists Association of WA.
