Profile
S. Korean-born American artist based in Kent, SOY (Shed Of Yun) has been honing her linocut and hand printing skills since she left the Advertising industry. Originally graduated from Academy of Art Univ. San Francisco with a Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design and Advertising, she has been working in the creative industry for the past 15 years winning awards like Cannes Lions. Now SOY focuses her creative energy in making things by hands, extending her design and visual skills to a more analogue platform. SOY’s S. Korean heritage and her motherhood is often the subject matter of her prints. She loves the restrictive Linoleum material which forces her to think in shapes and simplified formats to express complicated emotions like her childhood memories or mindfulness she gains through her study of Buddhism.
