January 18 - February 27, 2020
In meticulous paintings and watercolors of leaves, of rain, of mud, of other objects in the natural world, Mihee Nahm seeks to capture the ephemeral in all its transience. As the present endlessly slips into the past, Nahm’s images forever arrest the fleeting passage of time as it is manifested in nature. Subtle changes in the time of day, the weather, and mood capture the artist’s attention because they mirror her state of mind drawing us into similar reflections of longing and loss.
About the artist:
Mihee Nahm was born and raised in South Korea until the age of sixteen when she moved to the United States. In America, she took her first painting class which compelled her to pursue art. Living as a foreigner in America for over a decade pushed her to explore themes of memory, sense of place and nostalgia. Mihee Nahm holds an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin, and a BFA from Art Academy of Cincinnati. She has attended residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and Brush Creek Foundation. She currently lives and works in Grand Prairie, Texas.
