Opening Reception: June 13th, 2017, 6-9 p.m.

Hwa Soo Hwang, a textile designer from South Korea, believes that ‘a flower’ is the definition of true beauty. She describes the soft textures, curves, and scents of flowers of her imagination, and it is this image that is painted in a moment of spontaneous inspiration. She believes that every woman deserves to feel beautiful. When she creates a design for women’s clothes, she strives to bring out the vitality, delicacy, and contemplation of each brushstroke in the original artwork. Her hand drawings are the foundations of her work of textile design. She spends most of her time focusing those foundations to emphasize the femininity and elegance of the overall design. She also aims to find the fabric material that perfectly matches the characteristics of the flowers from her hand drawing to give its maximum effect. Hwa Soo Hwang's extensive knowledge of fabric art is both unique and timeless. Hwang has 25 years of experience in the textile field, owned and operated 2 highly successful private businesses, and exhibited her work in China, Italy, Paris, France, and Seoul, Korea. She currently has been sponsored and has made contact with Tom Cody Designs, one of the top textile companies based in New York City, and is continuing to broaden her horizon as a renowned designer and artist.
