About the Artist...

Yujin Jeon is an 18-year-old Junior at Hamilton High School. Her favorite medium is acrylic paint layered with colored pencils. Her motivation as an artist is to combine inspiration from the elements of her Korean heritage with her personal narratives. This challenges her to mark new narratives that explore perspectives of fresh characters and capture a bold color range, accentuated by small, layered details. Inspired by Korean children’s folklore and scenery, she depicts interpretations of herself in dream-like worlds where her appearance shifts into different transformations that model her curiosity, vulnerability, and confidence.
