SEONNA HONG (Suggested for Stage Six: Mastery)
For Seonna Hong, saying YES has been pivotal! From an early age, art has been her language. She felt comfortable in that world and lives there still. There is no Plan B. Thus every art-adjacent opportunity that comes her way is a YES! This has led to teaching, a pop-up book, and multiple shows. Her relationship with her art practice through motherhood changed but never suffered. Motherhood only fueled her very personal work. Crisp color, graphic shapes, and nebulous washes tell her intimate and relatable story beautifully.
