These paintings are light studies. Light assists us in understanding landscapes, by experiencing the magnitude and direction in which it allows our vision to flow. As light moves it creates a dialogue between forms by defining them and their negative spaces. By concentrating on light as its own entity, I explore how it manipulates itself around objects and is distinguished through mood.
These images are also from travels abroad, where I seek an unfamiliar setting to explore new forms in unique lighting and climate. The process of recording this subject matter is important for me to share, with the goal of understanding a simple, intimate moment.

For Sunhee Joo, art is visual poetry. Instead of words I use lines, colors and shapes. I arrange those visual elements to create a certain feeling or mood. I strive to find a unique and personal artistic expression that conveys my love for God, people and nature.Even in my religious work, I try to liberate myself from dogmatism or traditionalism. I do not want to preach nor teach. I just want to invite the viewers come inside my artwork and feel His love.

My favorite subjects are people and nature, Especially I like people in the Bible. The Bible stories always inspire me and give me life. I like to depict a scene from the Bible with a fresh childlike vision. I also like people here and now. I try to see holiness in them. Since I grew up near the mountains, hills, rivers, and streams, I love to create images with natural elements in it.
