Educated as a city planner, an architect, and an artist, Yoonhee Choi creates work that explores the potentials of unexpected materials to express multiple scales of spatial experience and intimate, personal associations. In her projects, which range from tiny collages to drawings on paper to room-size installations, she uses everyday materials in a playful manner. Her work has been exhibited across the country and is part of collections on both coasts, including the Portland Airport where her glass walls line the north and south security areas.

Choi studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, architecture at Yale University, and city planning at Hong-ik University in Seoul. Born and raised in South Korea, she currently lives in Portland, Oregon.

The artist talk is in the school library and is open to the public. Please stop by the Main Office to sign in and receive a “Visitor” badge.
