Yoon Jeong  Lee photo Prior to earning her BFA from Academy of Art College here in San Francisco, Yoon Jeong Lee ("Eulee") studied arts and crafts in Korea and sociology in the Philippines. Eulee makes painting a way of life more than just an exercise in color and composition. She likes to think of thinking and feeling as different shades of the same process. Painting represents the physical combination of thinking and feeling, of thought and action, allowing Eulee to express herself purely and honestly.

Eulee's work is contemplative yet uninhibited. Her paintings are deliberate and thoughtful, the result of countless sketches and hours of reflection. Buildings, city life, and the human figure are constructed, deconstructed, then reassembled into the loose gestural compositions characteristic of her work. Eulee resists the idea that all art requires verbal explanations, preferring instead to let the viewer absorb the elements of the piece and respond to it in a personal, authentic manner.
