—the colors and delineations marked on canvases and papers - they reflect an aspect of my lived reality that keep me tethered to planet earth and its inhabitants—

Growing up in a nomadic and creative household, Lois Yena found art to be a sacred, reliable space to explore the depths of human emotions and lived experiences as a Korean American Woman.

On a typical soporific Saturday, Lois uses acrylic, water color, or calligraphy to create whatever makes sense to her on blank canvases that she comes across.

Lois’ work in abstract expressionism is often showcased through the vibrant colors on mixed media acrylic paintings and brush pen-based artworks. If you are interested in collaborating with Lois, reach out to her at Lyenachang@gmail.com.

Lois’ work has been exhibited and commissioned by Emory University, Richmond (VA) community leaders, the City of Atlanta, Kirkwood United Church of Christ, the Quickest Flip inclusionary art magazine, and the Family Violence Law Center.

Thank you!
