Jae Yong Kim
Jae Yong Kim was born in South Korea in 1973 and at the age of three moved to Kuwait when his father was relocated as a regional director there of a construction company and lived with his family in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for a total of five years. He spent most of his adolescence and youth in Seoul, South Korea, until he graduated high school and went alone to the United States in 1994 to pursue a university degree.
He attended and received his Bachelors of Fine Arts (in Ceramics and Sculpture) at the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford and his Masters of Fine Arts in Ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He was selected to participate in over forty group exhibitions all over the world. Jae Yong Kim is included in collections such as the University of Hartford, University of Bridgeport, as well as in homes of private and individual collectors.
The artist’s interest, research and studio practices extends from making individual ceramic pieces to installation.
