Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Susie Pak began exploring art at a young age by first copying Manga characters in grade school. She was accepted to the prestigious Seoul Arts High School to further develop her passion in the Arts. Susie went on to attend the world renowned Ewha Women’s University in Seoul eventually receiving a BFA, Arts Major and also attended FIDM in Los Angeles, CA graduating with a President’s Honor. Her focus on Design Merchandising at FIDM lead her to work at Macy’s as their chief Window Displayer. After a short break, Susie returned to her Fine Art pursuits. She held her first solo exhibition (“Pink, Not Green”) in February 2009 at LouWe Gallery in South Pasadena, CA followed in October 2009 with the show “The Journey to Home.” Susie has also exhibited two shows at SPACE in South Pasadena, CA: “Real Hero/Tinman” and “I Am Listening”. Susie was a featured finalist in the 32nd Annual “Made in California” Juried Gallery show at Brea Gallery. 2016 saw Susie’s work adorning the cover of “The String Variations” by 8-time Grammy Award Winning Jazz Artist Tierney Sutton. In 2019, her solo show “Lucky Days” opened at A-Lounge Gallery in South Korea. Susie’s illustration work leans toward the Surrealist and projects both rawness and delicacy, whimsy and depth.
