Overall Research Project Description I am preparing two upcoming solo exhibitions in LA(Shoshana Wayne Gallery) and New York(Derek Eller Gallery). I am working on the series of new Contemporary still-life style paintings in Acrylic and water-based media using Korean mulberry paper supported on canvas and panel ground. I am also working on a series of ceramic sculptures painted and drawn heavily with underglaze and glazed in Cone 5/6. These will be in the exhibitions and also in upcoming Art Basel and art fairs presented by Derek Eller Gallery and Mindy Solomon Gallery in December 2023.

Mentoring Philosophy I hope to work with student assistants to share my professional experience working in the art field industry in my research. We will work together not only on preparing studio production but also on dealing with logistics, communication, organizing inventories, packaging, archiving, and social media promotion for exhibitions and events. Many students are often focused on these in their senior year of undergraduate study as professional development. It will be great to expose them early on so they can start thinking about how to find their skill set and interest in the art field to get a job. Besides their research, they can learn to do some administrative aspects of work and they can apply this to their own. I also look forward to building up friendship and mentorship. This will be a great opportunity for me to learn about their work and help them build their studio practice as well. Additionally, I plan to help the assistants have a show at the end of their UROP project.
