Rina Yoon

Rina Yoon received a BFA in studio art from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, in 1988 and her MFA in Printmaking from Washington University in St Louis, MO, in 1996.

Currently Yoon is an Assistant Professor in the Fine Arts Divison at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, where she teaches printmaking. A Korean-born printmaker, Yoon works primarily large-scale using collagraph technique, a non-traditional intaglio process, combined with other traditional printmaking techniques. Her images address ideas of memory and identity, the conflict between past and present selves, and the desire to resolve this tension. Since 1996, Yoon has had five solo exhibitions in St Louis, Chicago, and Milwaukee. She has also shown her work in many group shows nationally as well as in Korea.
