Soojeong (Crystal) Shin
Born and growing up in Seoul, Korea, Crystal moved to Seattle where she found her love for nature and botanical art. She is especially drawn to capturing the intricate details and splendid colors in flowers and nature, which fill her with appreciation of the beauty that each subject has, and gratitude to the one who created it. She likes to work on getting color intensity and fine details with a delicate but vivid touch. Her favorite mediums are colored pencils and watercolor. She has studied botanical watercolor painting with instructor Kathleen McKeehen at Gage Academy of Art, and is now taking the Natural Science Illustration certificate program at the University of Washington, exploring various natural subjects and techniques to seek growth and opportunities as an artist. She hopes that her work opens people’s eyes to deeper appreciation for the authentic beauty of nature that each creature carries in its form and color. Everything in nature has its own special purpose and beauty to be admired, as we all do as a human being.
