Recent watercolor painting: Beauty a refuge from counterfeit façade.In a world often besieged by the superficial, beauty stands as a refuge—an oasis amidst the desert of counterfeit facades. It transcends mere aesthetics; it embodies authenticity, truth, and depth. True beauty emanates from within, radiating outward to touch hearts and souls. In a society fixated on appearances and outward validation, it's easy to fall prey to the allure of superficiality. The pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty can lead to a relentless pursuit of perfection, leaving individuals feeling inadequate and disconnected from their true selves. Yet, amidst this chaos, genuine beauty serves as a guiding light, illuminating the path to self-acceptance and inner peace. True beauty is found in authenticity—in embracing one's flaws and imperfections with grace and humility. It's the courage to be vulnerable, to show the world your true essence without fear or shame. It's in the laughter lines that etch themselves around your eyes, the scars that tell stories of resilience and strength, and the quirks that make you uniquely you. Moreover, beauty transcends physical appearance, manifesting in acts of kindness, compassion, and empathy. It's the warmth of a smile, the gentle touch of a hand, and the sincerity of a heartfelt gesture. Beauty resides in the depths of the human soul, where love and compassion intertwine to create moments of profound connection and understanding. In nature, beauty abounds in its purest form—a harmony of colors, shapes, and textures that captivate the senses and nourish the soul. From the majestic mountains to the delicate petals of a flower, nature's beauty serves as a reminder of the inherent harmony and balance that exist in the world. Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of life, beauty remains a constant—a beacon of hope in times of darkness, a source of inspiration in moments of despair. It's a reminder that even in the midst of adversity, there is always something beautiful to be found—a glimmer of light amidst the shadows, a ray of hope piercing through the clouds. Ultimately, beauty is not merely a reflection in the mirror or a fleeting moment of admiration—it is a state of being, a way of living authentically and wholeheartedly. It is the recognition of the inherent worth and dignity within each individual, a celebration of the unique and wondrous history of life. In a world often overshadowed by counterfeit facades, true beauty shines as a beacon of hope, guiding us back to ourselves and reminding us of the extraordinary beauty that resides within. One day in a dream I saw an angel with a snake's tail looking into a mirror. After waking up from my dream, I drew a picture of this bizarre and mysterious scene. Art is a refuge from counterfeit appearances. It allows us to escape the realm of visible mirrors and see the behind.

Thank you for supporting the installation of Girin Instruments' outdoor art show booth in 2024.4/15/2024 Thank you for supporting the installation of Girin Instruments' outdoor art show booth in 2024.Jinmoon Park, CEO, an expert in Korea's financial risk management and investment analysis, has decided to support Girin Instruments' booth costs for the outdoor art show to be held at Gallery North in 2024.
CEO Park is not only interested in finance, mathematics, and economics, but he is also an art enthusiast who is interested in art, including photography. Also, when you look at his photos, you realize that he too is at a level where he can be called an artist. I will be participating in this year's outdoor show under the name of Girin Instruments, just like last year. I plan to set up a company booth, which is a more advanced form of the existing table, to further promote my work and company. Once again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to CEO Jinmoon Park for his support and support for the development of art and culture in the local community. Surrounded by Water - April 20 - May 18 in Mills Pond Gallery.Port Jefferson Harbor, painted in watercolor on 16 x 12-inch Arches paper, is one of our region's most beautiful and proud sights. As a local artist, I am most excited to be able to paint scenes of Port Jefferson Harbor. Port Jefferson Harbor is a place where you can experience various views of the sea. If you visit here every day, you will probably be amazed by the changing scenery, colors, and atmosphere of the sea every day. I have rarely found a place that has different charms every day like Port Jefferson Port. So, as a painter, I love trying to capture the beauty of Port Jefferson. And above all, this is a place where you can feel the energy that connects our region with other regions. Therefore, here, you can feel the excited expressions and sparkling eyes of travelers entering a new world, like countless waves sparkling in the sunlight. I am so grateful to be able to capture the beauty of this region through this exhibition. I tried to capture the charm of Port Jefferson Harbor in a quiet, simple, and spontaneous way using watercolor paint. I hope that this painting will end up in the home of a like-minded art lover who loves Port Jefferson Harbor. Dean's Award For Outstanding Academic Achievement in Educational Theatre MA in Educational!4/12/2024 Dean's Award For Outstanding Academic Achievement in Educational Theatre MA in Educational!I believe that Adelphi graduate school was a turning point in my life. As Jean Nidetch said, “It’s not a chance that determines your destiny,” the choice to attend Adelphi graduate school changed my destiny. I have my own artistic lens, consistent with the curriculum and goals, and am now able to work as an artist with confidence and without fear towards the world. And to the professors who taught me, I would like to say that you are my teachers and great mentors who upgraded me to another level, and I would like to express my gratitude. I did not simply study and receive credits, but through this course, I was able to look back on my entire life and experience as if my life was being healed. And through this, I gained the confidence and vision that I can help others through education and contribute to creating a wonderful society where we can live together. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the professors who gave me an amazing vision and a beautiful, unforgettable experience, and to the school officials who gave me this opportunity. I received good news from Adelphi Graduate School that I would be receiving a Dean's Award.
Starting in the fall of 2022, all the courses I studied will pass by like a film. I can say that I studied with all my might. Because I started studying exactly 20 years after receiving my master's degree in a field other than art, I really wanted to study, I was passionate, and most of all, I was desperate. For me, I did my best with the mindset and vision to make this graduate school a turning point in my life, not just a degree or a 4.0 grade. So when I organize the things I studied, tears come to my eyes without me realizing it. This is because the language and culture were different, and I remember the difficulties of reading, studying, and completing assignments. On top of this, raising children, working on projects, and teaching students were my additional tasks. I had to do all of this perfectly. I always lacked sleep, was tired, and found studying difficult. However, because it was an opportunity given after 20 years of earnest effort, I felt that the joy of being able to study was stronger than any difficulties ahead of me. There truly is joy in learning. I was not pursuing this master's program and degree for any job or purpose. I was already employed as an ‘artist’ and had no goals other than studying. My only goal was to gain some kind of qualification to educate students more professionally, and I desperately needed something that would give wings to my vision as a studio artist. And I knew that if I was prepared like this, a better opportunity would arise someday. Because I already have enough experience and careers as a studio artist. But as I study, I feel more and more greedy. It is a desire to study further. But I can't think of a doctorate. I have to stop studying right here and run into the field. As an artist and educator. Still, my studies will not end and will continue. I completed all of my degree coursework last winter, along with summer classes. My GPA was an amazing 4.0, and I felt like I was rewarded for all my hard work and passion, but after finishing my studies, it was difficult to let go of the idea of wanting to study more for a while. But I can't run with my personal greed like this. I think a master's degree is sufficient for artists and for me. I have a lot more to learn besides this. I will learn this slowly and prepare in the future. I would like to thank everyone who gave me encouragement, support, and so that I could successfully complete my master's program. Congrats! Winners of National Wind Art!The National Wind Energy Art Contest is open to students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Submissions are due by March 22, 2024. Winners will receive $200 and a chance to showcase their work at the annual CLEANPOWER 2024 conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota May 5–8, 2024. I encouraged my students to participate in this competition. More than anything, I hope that students will love and protect nature through art and realize the secrets of its beautiful nature. And this is also why I truly pursue art and paint. In this sense, I am proud that three of my students were selected for this year's National Wind Art Contest. I am deeply grateful to Iris, Elbert, and Oscar for reminding us of the beautiful wind in this competition. As they prepare for this competition, I am well aware of the beautiful stories they have told me as they express their invisible desires. It was truly an amazing experience.
I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the students who prepared together even though they did not receive the award. As we take on challenges together through art contest, I discover that this opportunities are not a place of competition, but a place of chance to upgrade one's skills and discover the ability to live together with the community and people around us. And before I know it, I find that my students are enjoying the challenges themselves rather than focusing on winning or losing through numerous challenges. This is also a very valuable experience. And our challenges will continue in the future. I hope that students will be given many opportunities and competitions to take on these challenges. Through these competitions, my students and I are able to get out of the narrow studio room and turn our gaze to the wider world, broaden our horizons, and focus our attention on creating a world where we can live happily together. In particular, competitions focus on environmental issues, nature conservation, It is very beneficial to students educationally and artistically because it deals with various issues such as social problems, race and culture. Above all, I am deeply grateful to the people and institutions that gave us and my students this opportunity. |
