Juliann Choe was born and raised in Northern Alabama, surrounded by the Tennessee Valley. Everywhere you looked there was lush green, washing over the horizon like a hug holding you tight. She received a Bachelor’s of Fine Art from Auburn University and a Master’s of Art Education from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. She has been teaching, painting, and chasing mountains across the country and has settled in the idyllic Pacific Northwest. Her work breathes joyful color into the room and invites the viewer into her optimistic landscapes. Her abstracted landscapes are inspired by her travels and her deep love of our earth. Each painting is a remembrance of a place in nature so breathtaking they urge you to stay an extra moment, imagining what it would be like to make a home there. She paints to bring people together as a source of hope in a bright, thriving world that is shared and stewarded.
