Artist Kyungsoo Lee was formally trained in Seoul, Korea and received her M.F.A. from the Graduate School of Sungshin Women's University in 1983 and then moved to California U.S.A. Kyungsoo Lee begins paintings as a small child, displaying a prodigious talent for art, for painting in particular. She continues today, many years later as she has always done: painting.
All of her paintings are inspired by her observations of the natural world. Though she takes her inspiration from nature, she has no interest in taking pictures of things, but wish to distill the essence and the emotional content of the thing. she has always gotten great pleasure from the colors, color combinations, line and forms as they grow on her canvas.
She has devoted the past thirty years to painting. Because of this, she has achieved a facility to speak eloquently with line and color, to speak poetry without words to those who are receptive.
