Jinie Park Korean American

Jinie Park creates ethereal works on canvas with thinly layered, translucent washes of paint. Through her abstraction she investigates and engages with the history and conventions of painting, applying paint on all sides of her canvas. Park received a BFA in painting at Seoul National University (Seoul, South Korea) and an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore, MD). Her work has been shown at the Kimsechonng Museum (Seoul, South Korea), the Louisiana Biennial Juried Exhibition, School of Design at Louisiana Tech University (Ruston, LA) and in a juried exhibition at Weiser Gallery, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA). Park was awarded an Individual Artist Award in Painting from the Maryland State Art Council, the Henry Walters Traveling Fellowship and the LeRoy E. Hoffberger Scholarship from the Maryland Institute College of Art. In 2016 Park received the Perez Art Museum Miami Picks Award during PULSE Miami Beach. Elizabeth Leach Gallery published a catalogue of her work in 2018.
