Artist Statement
-Who Jeong Lee
Oct. 26,2010
My art works convey seriesof my spiritual journeys to define and understand marks of the creators divine works that are all around and in us. These marks I discover and learn through daily meditation and prayer ground and connect me to the creator in his creations and these often become my inspiration and creative energy to bring them into existence as different forms of art works.
Inspiration and creative energy I gain from my journey finds its own way to be expressed through various stages of meditation and exploration. The ways I explore are often very interdisciplinary, but I know my art work is done when I see an art work can leave its own mark and speak its own story to viewers. Id like to invite viewers into my journeys hoping they can be inspired and filled with creative energy after encountering with the marks in my arts that are also around and in them.
My passion towards arts includes serving communities locally and globally by sharing arts and supporting art programs each community has. Through my short-term mission trips to Africa and Southeast Asia, I realized that there are still many people who never experienced the true value of creating arts. This struck me and changed my perspective to arts tremendously. In front of those who never heard about arts or created any art works, I questioned to myself whats arts?. I am still redefining the meaning, but I know one thing that I want my art works canbe something beneficial to humanity and the communities around me.
