Yura is a Korean American artist and a Native New Yorker. Painting has provided a medium of expression when words fail. It is a safe place to feel seen, be heard and connect with herself. It gives her courage and hope to face a broken world. 

In her free time, she loves stalking stray cats and cuddling with her introverted dog. She loves hip hop and r&b and eating her favorite foods like sushi, ramen, and a still good, but now $3 slice of pizza. She scrolls on TikTok or enjoys a good kdrama.
