I was born in Kyonggi Province in the heart of the traditional pottery region in South Korea, and grew up surrounded by the traditional forms and shapes of Korean pottery. Marriage brought me to the U.S. and later to lengthy expatriate stays in Japan and Hong Kong where I studied traditional Japanese flower arrangement and tai chi.

After moving to Eugene with my husband and two children in 1995, I took ceramics classes at Lane Community College, and fell in love with clay. We now live on a working 335-acre cattle and sheep ranch where I have a large studio and display area. I still work as a member of the Club Mud co-op pottery studio in Eugene, Oregon.

In ceramics, I focus on a variety of specialized Ikebana ring vases for flower arrangements, orchid pots and functional pots for everyday use.

I use mostly stoneware and fire to cone 10 in a gas kiln.

My pottery is oven-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe.

I'm a member of Local Clay. I have had my pottery in local galleries and a museum gift shop.
