Hee Joo Yang
Studio Alumni
Hee Joo Yang was born in Manhattan, Kansas. She received a B.F.A. from the Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea in 2013 and an M.F.A. from Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea in 2016, and an M.F.A. from SUNY New Paltz, New Paltz, NY in 2021. She creates ceramics sculpture that explore a sense of time, space, and emotional expression. Through the abstract objects that accumulate, flow, and pile, she makes things that have stories, countable or uncountable, empty or full. Yang considers how she can arouse curiosity and tell stories to the audience by visualizing what is invisible. Her works had been exhibited in South Korea, Germany and in the United States. Hee Joo’s works are collected by Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art, Choi Gallery and many personal collectors. Hee Joo Yang currently lives and works in Pittsburgh, PA.
