Korean Ink Painting with Joon Bae
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025 5:00pm-8:00pm
Join us for a workshop exploring the rich tradition of Korean ink painting. Through hands-on practice and cultural exchange, we’ll dive into the techniques, philosophy, and history behind this beautiful art form. Using natural ink materials, participants will experience how ink painting serves as both artistic expression and a bridge for cross-cultural understanding.
Joon Bae (b. 1957; Jinju, South Korea) received her BFA in Visual Arts with an emphasis in painting and drawing from the University of Utah. She began learning traditional Korean ink painting methods in her childhood. After a lifetime of practice and an exploration into western forms of painting through her studies, she has found her rhythm as an East Asian Ink Painter. Her work has been collected internationally and exhibited in Utah at the UMFA, Salt Lake City Library, University of Utah, Springville Museum, Jewish Community Center, and more. She has given countless demonstrations and was featured in the 2019 edition of Sunshine Artist magazine. She is excited to continue teaching and learning through storytelling by putting brush to rice paper. joon-bae.com
