Kelly Haejung Paik is a Seattle-based visual artist whose work reinterprets Korean heritage forms through contemporary abstraction. Through line, color, form, and material, she explores the dialogue between human-made structure and natural rhythm, translating cultural pattern into dimensional surface and space.

 

Her evolving practice spans painting, sculpture, tessellation, and site-responsive installation, often drawing from Korean vessels, bojagi, and architectural space. Through layered color, shifting geometry, and tactile surfaces, Paik creates contemplative environments that balance structure, light, and spatial tension while expanding traditional forms into contemporary abstraction.
