Taeeun Yoo's artistic journey is deeply rooted in her Korean heritage, drawing inspiration from the vibrant gardens of her childhood home and the meticulous artistry of her family. Her early exposure to traditional Korean brush painting and the quiet observation of her grandfather tending to his orchids and bonsai have profoundly shaped her distinctive illustrative style. After honing her skills in Korea, she pursued graduate studies in illustration in New York, where she embraced new techniques like etching, evident in her early children's book creations. Yoo's work, which has graced publications like The New York Times and children's magazines, reflects a unique blend of cultural tradition and contemporary artistic exploration. She continues to find inspiration in the urban landscape, observing and sketching the life that unfolds on city streets.
