Sungkyung Park was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea and during high school she found her love of art in the clay animation club. Afterward, she attended college in South Korea and pursued a major in advertisement. She then decided to switch gears and pursue her artistic talent in America. Currently she is a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University in the Communication Arts Department.

She mainly focuses on life drawing, capturing the overlooked beauty of her everyday surroundings. As a foreigner, especially she found the American scene unconventional yet inspiring. The architecture of Richmond was what drew her and she sank into drawing whatever she saw around her. Her line is fluid and direct in capturing her subjects. Her color is subtle, soft, and accents the delicate contour shapes of each page.

She had a group exhibition in The Anderson Gallery in the spring of 2008, and Art6 gallery in the summer of 2009. She has received a scholarship from the Communication Arts Department and an award from The Society of Illustrators for her fascinating drawings. These days she spends most of her time in the Honors Studio and with an internship in Communication Design Inc.
