Artist Statement

Jongkook Kim was born and grew up in Korea, and immigrated to Canada with his wife for a new adventure in 1993. Language and cultural difference have been a great challenge but also given him another opportunity to learn and grow in many ways. His specialty is to paint nature and landscapes on the rice paper by using brush and oriental colors. Nature, in general, is his motivation and inspiration. His view on life and the world has changed over the time. He realizes that connecting with people through art is important. He would like to use his art as a mechanism to bring people together and facilitate understanding and fellowships among them.
