Wings Of Grace: Wonsook Kim

Wonsook is both a painter of magical, vivid landscapes, and a storyteller of the universality of human hardships. Her flowing images refuse to yield to eye-catching trends and instead engage her viewers through heartfelt stories.

Her quality lies in her strong personal style that carries both the pureness of a child’s touch and the expert craftsmanship of an experienced artist and colorist. Wonsook’s work instructs us to appreciate the joys of life and to persist in the face of difficulties.

Drawing from experiences as a Korean immigrant and embracing an introspective attitude, Wonsook has created a visual diary of her life that many people, regardless of their identities, can not only be immersed in but also relate to.

Awarded for the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, her work was made into stamps and contributed to the transformation of the University of Illinois into Kim Won-sook University. Her work is Magical Realism. Through her work, she represents Korean sensibility and presents us with an artistic fantasy that we must not lose.
