About Yunha Park

Moving to Canada was a challenging journey.
Adapting to a new environment wasn’t easy, and I faced many struggles along the way.
But through it all, my family and I found strength in each other.
Still, the one thing that truly transformed my life was art.

One day, a woman in her seventies—living with dementia—gifted me a set of watercolor tools.
She likely didn’t even remember giving them to me.
But for me, that moment became a turning point—an invitation into the world of painting.

Before that, I was a cleaner. I often saw myself as small, insignificant — someone who blended into the background. But art gave me something I had never truly felt before: meaning. It gave value to a life I once thought was ordinary.

Not long after, I saw another elderly person completely immersed in painting.
As I watched their brush move across the canvas, something shifted within me.
I felt a quiet healing, both mentally and emotionally.
In their calm focus, I saw a reflection of my mother, who was far away.
Whenever I thought of her, inspiration would flow through me, and my brush seemed to dance.

These two elderly individuals became my greatest inspiration after coming to Canada.
They gave me courage, a new sense of purpose, and a second life through art.

Now, I hope to share that same healing power of painting with others—
especially with those in underprivileged communities, just as it was once shared with me.

철학 + 활동 방향

저는 그림을 쉽게 시작하고, 함께 나누며, 실제 사람들과 연결되는

예술 경험을 만들어가고 있습니다.

Paint Night와 커뮤니티 기반 행사를 통해,

경험에 상관없이 누구나 편안하게 그림을

즐길 수 있는 자리를 만들고 있으며,

일부 프로그램은 기부와 나눔으로 지역사회와 연결됩니다.

온타리오 전역의 야외 전시와 아트 이벤트에 참여하며,

공공 공간 속에서 예술을 소개하고

지역 커뮤니티와 직접 소통하고 있습니다.

열린 전시는 예술을 일상 가까이로 끌어오고,

예술가와 대중 사이의 거리를 좁힙니다.

저는 그림은 누군가가 봐줄 때 비로소

살아난다고 믿습니다.
그래서 신진 아티스트뿐 아니라, 그림을 좋아해

취미로 그리는 분들까지 전시에

참여할 수 있도록 기회를 만드는 데 힘쓰고 있습니다.

또한 지난 2년간 가족과 아이들을 위한 미술 활동을

연중 행사로 기획·실행하며

다양한 커뮤니티와 협업해 왔습니다.

온라인에서는 유튜브를 통해 페인팅 과정과

그림 스킬을 공유하며, 누구나 각자의 속도로

예술을 즐길 수 있도록 열어두고 있습니다.

제 목적은 단순합니다.
예술을 특별한 사람의 것이 아닌, 일상 속에서

함께 살아가는 경험으로 만드는 것입니다.

Artist Statement

"Creating the Moment When Art Comes Alive"

“그림이 살아나는 순간을 만드는 일”

“보여질 때 완성되는 그림”

“Where Art Comes Alive Through Sharing”

Through Paint Night events and outdoor exhibitions across Ontario,

I bring art into public spaces and everyday life, connecting artists and communities in open, welcoming environments.

I believe a painting truly comes alive when it is seen.
That’s why I focus on creating exhibition opportunities not only for emerging artists, but also for those who paint out of passion — turning private creativity into shared experience.

I also collaborate with community groups to plan

family- and child-focused art activities, and share my painting process and techniques openly through YouTube.

My goal is simple:
to make art visible, inclusive, and alive within real communities.
