Lim is a Korean contemporary artist and an avid student of calligraphy and fine art. She re- ceived her BFA and MFA from Ehwa University in Seoul, Korea, and has been living and cre- ating art in New York for over twenty years. From 1995 to 1996, Lim volunteered to paint 103 Korean martyrs on canvas for the St. Paul Chung Ha Sang Catholic Church in Des Plaines, IL. This work inspired her focus on figures and postures, and empathy with different perspectives. After her first solo show at the Culture Center in Pomona, NY, in 2006, she further developed her style, emphasizing the line. Her work since then represents a body and dialogue of lines limning human stories and relationships.
Lim was one of 26 artists selected for the 2021 Social Distancing Festival in partnership with the Consulate General of Canada in New York and Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art Al- toona, PA. Her work was recently featured at the Rotunda Gallery in New Rochelle, NY; River- front Gallery in Yonkers, NY; Stable Gallery in Ridgewood, NJ; Future Dream West Nyack, NY; Kinosaito Art Center Verplanck, NY; and AHL Gallery NYC, NY. In 2024 her works were exhib- ited at the Lavish Gallery Tenafly, NJ, Brian Bridge Art Contest; the Connect Gallery Chicago, IL; and Edward Hopper House Museum Member Exhibition Nyack, NY. Lim teaches art to stu- dents living with autism and Down’s syndrome at the New Beginning School in Cresskill, NJ.
