Blooming Expressions

With more idle time on their hands these days, many people may find themselves wondering endlessly about what the future holds for them. It can be challenging, stressful and a bit overwhelming at times. Which is why I recommend a stress break.

No, I'm not talking about a spa, but I am talking about something refreshing, soothing and inspiring. I'm talking about the art of Soojung Cho.

Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Soojung moved to the States in 1977 after college to study Fine Art. Her work has been exhibited from Korea to New York and New Jersey. Her work is like yoga for the soul. Her color palettes and composition are energetic, yet calming at the same time. Her Oil on Canvas paintings range in size from 18"wide to 36" high.


I think many of us can relate these days with "Red Way". For me it's full of energy, like the energy flowing around this country right now. It shows a path, which leads to a hill that, to me, represents the hardship we are going through. After the hill, the path continues. The end of the path symbolizes the uncertainties and makes me wonder about the outcome.


"Cherry Blossom" just makes me happy. It makes me feel like walking through a path of blooming cherry blossoms in a white flowy dress without a care in the world.


Finally "Lotus Night" is like sitting under the stars after a long summer day and reminiscing about a glorious day while contemplating what tomorrow will bring.

So, grab a cup of your favorite tea and take a break. Visit: http:www.soojungcho.com to view Soojung's latest work!
