Christy Hyonsuk 현숙
Christy Hyonsuk is a mixed-media abstract artist inspired by childhood summers on Jeju Island. Using mainly acrylics, she captures memory, belonging, and heritage, bringing Jeju’s beauty to canvas.
Art blurs time by bringing the past to the present and thought to vision.

Boxes of Tangerines
Inspired by memories of my Jeju Grandmother sending boxes of tangerines, I created ‘Boxes of Tangerines’ collection to honor the warmth and strength in Jeju families. Carrying that legacy forward, I brought my artwork to Union Square, sharing my grandmother’s love with the world through bright, heartfelt reminders of home. 🍊

DonatE TO ART
I’m just starting out. I little help would be nice. Art shows and exhibits can get expensive.
-
Jeju Island is largest island between South Korea and Japan. The island is known for its tangerines, volcanic landscapes and beaches, and its status as a Special Self-Governing Province.
-
Many of the residents speak the Korean language since it is taught in schools. Jeju Island has its own dialect that has been fading the last 100 years.
-
You should visit Jeju Island to try delicious Jeju tangerines, see volcanic landscapes and caves, waterfalls, and experience the unique culture and food - like the sea woman ‘haenyeo’ and Jeju belt fish.
