Yonghee Kim was born and raised in Korea. After graduating from Ewha Women’s University with a master degree in Fashion Design, she moved to New York City to study Fashion Illustration at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).
There she continued her studies, broadening her skills and developing her own unique style. Her specialty is in sketch drawing using various mediums as watercolor, pencil, and ink. Her lines and brush strokes are not only from traditional techniques, but also from music where she gets her unique inspiration.
Her music inspiration varies from techno to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, which are visible in her bold and dynamic pieces. Yonghee has been recognized and awarded throughout her native Korea and in the US.
She currently resides in New York City where she continues to hone her skills to create her work.
