kyung soon park

Kyung received her BAA from Sheridan ITAL and has worked as an award winning illustrator since 2007. In work that is both calming and searching, Kyung Soon Park portrays idealized figures in various abstract landscapes to explore concepts of memory, identity and emotions in a surreal setting. Park demonstrates her fondness of nature in her work and invites viewers to share her colourful appreciations of the peace she finds there.

She has worked with:
Washington Post, Metropolitan Magazine, Running Time, Outdoor Life Magazine, How Magazine, Oxford University Press [England], More Magazine, Report On Business, The Globe and Mail, Runners World, Clarion’s Book, Dirt Rag Magazine, Canadian Music Publishers Association, City of Mississauga, Editions Chan-Ok [France], Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities, Annabelle Magazine [Switzerland], Seattle Metropolitan, Harvard University Press
