She was born in Mil-Yang, South Korea, in 1952, did fine art undergraduate studies at Dong-A University, and completed her Masters of Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1992. She has had more than 10 solo exhibitions in leading Korean galleries, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions in New York, Japan, China, and Korea.

For the last 15 years she has explored experimental forms with three dimensional installation pieces. The pervading theme with most of this work has been Water and Light: flowing water, still water, water permeated by light, water refelected by light. She developed her "Sound of Light" series with indoor and outdoor installations in Korea at places like Technomart 21, the National Cancer Centre, the Samsung Insurance Building, and the Dr. Suh, Jae-Pil Memorial Park, Bosung, Jeon-Nam, etc..

She has recently begun working in two dimensional sculptor with her "Blank of Light" series which she introduced with her October, 1994, solo exhibit in Seoul, Korea. Her technique involves "pecking" the stainless steel black and color mirror surfaces with a hand size burr drill utilizing various bits to achieve her desired results.
