‘Fly High’

‘Fly High’, 2021

Minju Li of Minju Li Studio

Watercolor on 100% Cotton Paper – 6″ x 9″

I was searching for answers when I created these pieces. I left my stable job that I had for 9 years to find my own voice. It was exciting but also scary. I was uncertain if I made the right choice and I felt vulnerable. This was a message for myself and those who feel the same way I did. To let go of those feelings and set ourselves free and fly high!

Minju Li is an artist born in Korea and currently based in Orange County, California. 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.

Minju’s 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. 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.
