NOVEMBER Program Speaker Yoori Cho

My name is Yoori Cho. The excitement I first felt in crayons and white drawings is still vivid. For me, it was natural and fun to draw by myself since I was young, because I have only one brother who is younger than me by eight years. Painting is a friend who has walked my life together. I started painting when I was in elementary school. After graduating from an art education college, I worked as an art teacher in an elementary school and exhibited several times. Then I married and followed my husband to the United States.
My major is oriental painting. In the past, a foreigner looked at a Korean traditional drawing paper, which draws lines or landscapes depicting nature. In modern times; however, many Korean artists have been experimenting with expression techniques to find new formative styles with a new experimental spirit.
When I was a child, I was very impressed by the retrospective of an artist Oh Taehak’s 40 years painting. He had problems in his right hand, but he overcame the uncomfortable body by painting with his left hand. He said that left hand painting is weaker and awkward, but clearer and more relaxed. He also said that painting is done not by hand but by spirit. From then on, my goal was to draw a picture that conveys my life and my thoughts, not a picture that I had drawn just with skills. I hope to deliver comfort, joy, and strength to someone through my painting.

Artist of the Month

Judy Sinclair has loved art since she was born. It’s always been a part of her life, from her father’s carpentry – building homes and creating detailed work – to her high school art classes. It was her wonderful art teacher there who told her the world is full of artists, and you have to do something different to stand out. This filled her with a need to create something no one else has done.

Judy has been a full-time artist for nine years. While she does some acrylic pouring, mixed media/collage pieces are her passion. She uses acrylic paint and other materials, such as handmade paper (some she makes herself), stained glass, Formica, semi-precious stones, rocks, etc. She also creates a frame with complementary colors to go around each piece, so it becomes part of the artwork. Her work has been described as a cross between realism and surrealism.
