| I was born on Christmas Day, 1975 in Seoul, South Korea. My mother was Korean and my father was born in Tallassee, Alabama. I finished high school in Tallassee in 1993 at the age of seventeen. After that, I went to study at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa where I studied history and English. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| After failed suicide attempts in 1995 and 1996, I was hospitalized in Bryce Hospital in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, otherwise known as manic-depression. I dropped out of college in 1998, essentially became homeless as I did some traveling, doing research for my novel. | ||
"Codex" mixed media on canvas 24" x 18" $550 (9382)
| I started painting in 1999 after seeing a friend’s paintings. I felt I could do just as good and he gave me two tubes of paint and some canvas. But I didn’t take it very seriously because I was still working on my book and trying unsuccessfully to get a band together. I got in trouble again in August of 1999 where I was hospitalized in a crisis stabilization unit in Montgomery, where I met a lady who encouraged me to start painting again. Then I was hospitalized in Bryce again for two months to get my medication stabilized, and thanks to the lady’s encouragement, I began painting again when I was discharged. | ||

| I don’t know that much about art, but I know what I like to paint. I feel confident that my work will improve and evolve as time goes on.
