graduated from the department of Oriental Painting at Ewha Womans University’s College of Fine Arts, Seoul, Korea.
Upon her graduation, she immigrated to the U.S.A, where she continues her art study and artistic career, starting from Korean traditional style paintings such as ink painting and minwha (folk art), then proceeded various experimentation in terms content and style.
Such a diverse mergence with western contemporary artistic trends was intensified when she started to study at George Washington University, particularly the class of Modern and Contemporary Art in a global perspective.
Mun received the “Special Artist Award” selected by the jury of the Korean Art Critics Association in 2020 and won first place in the NPO WCCW Art juried competition in 2015.
Her artistic activities include Art Forum International Exhibition at Hainan, China (2024), an Oriental Painting Workshop at George Washington University (2023), a Minwha Truck Show at the Freer & Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Asian Art Museum (2017), exhibition Collateral Damage at the ANYA and Andrew Shiva Gallery in John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York (2016).
As a Korean American artist, Mun explores her own contemporary Eastern art by incorporating Korean sentiments and American influences, her work often integrates letters and symbolic characters as a signifier of Korean traditional elements and cultural identity.
