Mijin Kwon “Sunny Day at Crissy Field – oil on

Mijin Kwon “Sunny Day at Crissy Field – oil on canvas 12″ x 36” Detail, swipe for long shot. Mijin Kwon endeavors to depict the essence of her surroundings and is inspired by Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkorn, and her own daily experiences. This current series, ‘Moments at That Time: San Francisco’ uses the elements of composition, color, light, and texture to convey each moment. These paintings are in our Lake Street Window.

“The comfort and familiarity of home, family, and a sense of belonging that had faded upon leaving my home country of Korea, were gradually replaced by the excitement and novelty of encountering a new environment, people, and culture. Over time, what was once new seamlessly transformed into my daily life. By capturing the beauty of the everyday, I find comfort and belonging in these fragments of time. Each experience became a source of inspiration and motivation” - Mijin Kwon
