My time in Seoul as a Fulbright scholar in 2009-2010 was a major period of healing for me. I had experienced so much trauma from family and friends back in New York that getting away from everyone to be alone and do creative things was extremely important. Meeting creative thinkers and great people in Seoul also helped me through the healing process. My revitalized spirit came through in the color schemes I was capturing through photography and painting.
