Born in Korea and shaped in Chicago, she is now based in Washington Heights in New York City. Myong has exhibited at NoMAA Gallery and Center for Book Arts, and received scholarship support from Penland School of Craft, Dieu Donné, Guild of Bookworkers, Center for Book Arts, and Manhattan Graphics Center. She has studied with Aimee Lee and Steph Rue in the practice of traditional hanji (Korean paper) making and related Korean paper crafts. Inspired by hanji and motivated by the deep personal and cultural significance that the chestnut represents for her, Myong is developing a method to make bamji, or chestnut paper. She is the 2026-2027 Studio178 Artist-in-Residence at Cornerstone STUDIOS in NYC.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll images courtesy of the instructor unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Center for Book Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109230461084,"sku":"26FLP004I","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3861\/files\/01c30f6d-Screen-Shot-2022-08-22-at-2.03.04-PM.png?v=1755191094","url":"https:\/\/shop.centerforbookarts.org\/products\/26flp004i","provider":"Center for Book Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
