Featured Artist - Minju Li

Minju Li is an artist born in Korea and currently based in Orange County, California. Before Minju’s senior year in college, she traveled to California and fell completely in love with it – sunny weather, palm trees everywhere and living close to the beach. She decided to do an internship in California where the grass is really greener! After a full year, she got an offer for a full-time position which she took with zero hesitation.

Minju’s native language is Korean. She studied fine art in college and received her bachelor’s degree at Seoul National Univ of Science and Technology. After graduating, she came to the United States when she turned 25 and started her career as a graphic designer and artist at a wall decor wholesaler under the pseudonym Guseul Park. During that time, she explored various mediums and different types of art that led her to develop her own style. Her job provided her with unique opportunities of collaborating with some of her favorite brands, like Anthropologie, Crate and Barrel, Neiman Marcus, etc.

After 9 years of working in the corporate world, Minju decided it was time to take a leap. Minju quit her steady but stressful job to pursue her own art career. As her new art career is taking off, she has had work displayed in a local coffee shop and through an exclusive online gallery. To validate herself as a person and artist, Minju’s work is now showcased using her real name, Minju Li. She hopes to continue this journey and connect with her audience along the way.
