MoonJi moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2016. She began her career as an artist while discovering California and its culture. Her approach towards choosing subjects and mediums was influenced by her former education in Architecture Design. She learned that unique and extravagant designs and features may get attention at first, but can quickly become boring rather than timeless. Moonji delights in common and familiar elements that are sometimes overlooked or ignored and believes that those who see the beauty in common elements around them are able to see the world as a piece of art. In line with her philosophy, she uses Colored Pencils as her main medium and her subjects are nature, animals and ordinary matters.
