Joo Chase – Artist | San Francisco Bay Area
My name is Joo Chase, and I am an artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a Korean-American who has lived here for over a decade, my work reflects a blend of cultural influences, capturing the beauty of Korean nature and childhood memories alongside the vibrant modernity of America.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Art from a university in Korea and an MBA from graduate school. In the United States, I earned a Certificate in Painting & Drawing from Diablo Valley College (DVC). My professional background includes 15 years as a character designer and project manager for an internet portal company in Korea, which shaped my creative perspective and attention to detail.
I specialize in portraits, abstracts, and nature-inspired paintings, using a range of mediums including oil, acrylic, watercolor, and traditional Korean ink. Exploring and mastering various art materials is central to my practice, as I continually seek to evolve my techniques and creative expression.
My art embodies a fusion of experiences, stories, and emotions, with each piece reflecting the unique interplay of my heritage and life in the United States. My dream is to dedicate my life to painting, continually studying and refining my craft.
