Sehee Shim’s work is a delicate exploration of emotion, nature, and human beauty. With a background in fine arts and design, she draws inspiration from the world around her, capturing the subtle interactions of light, color, and form. Her paintings are more than representations—they are expressions of unspoken thoughts and sentiments. Her unique technique of omitting outlines allows light to flow through her works, creating an ethereal glow and a sense of movement, as if a gentle breeze passes through. She finds joy in portraying the inner beauty of humanity and nature, and her intention is to create a space for viewers to connect with these moments of quiet reflection and unexpected delight. Through her art, Sehee aims to offer a “piece of peace,” a gift to those who encounter her work.

Riverside Gallery is pleased to present “A Piece of Peace,” a solo exhibition by Sehee Shim, on view from November 1 to 8, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, November 2, from 5-7 PM. The exhibition will showcase She's latest body of work, which continues her exploration of capturing nature and inner reflections through refined use of color and a unique approach to line and form.
