About the Artist
Soo K. Chang
Soo Chang believes that her artwork must be genuine and sincere - a reflection of her soul - offering a glimpse into the inspirations that guide both her life and her gifted hands.
A National Scholastic Art winner in high school, Soo received art scholarship offers from many well known art institutions, but chose to stay close to her family and accepted a scholarship to attend Bradley University where she graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design.
Deeply committed to her family and faith, it is no surprise that it was Soo's first child, Abbie, whose innocent childlike perspectives to life, inspired her initial foray into mural designs and continues to be the mainstay of her canvas work today. As her children have grown, her artwork has also evolved and transformed both technically and visually into something far more personally meaningful and profound.
Today Soo strives to convey simple, refreshing imagery across a wide spectrum of styles, incorporating elements of Abstraction, Realism, and the timeless essence of Movement. Her use of bold colors are consistent, yet contain a surprising level of versatility within each respective range.
Private collections of Soo’s work can be found worldwide. You can find some of her work available for public viewing within the greater Chicago Metropolitan area at the Marshall Fields Look-Gallery, Edwards Hospital Heart Center, and Orland Park Public Library. Her artwork can also be occationally found at some of the well known art shows in the country, including Chicago's Gold Coast show, Chicago’s One of a Kind show, and Naples Fine Art Show in Florida.
Currently, Soo lives in Naperville, Illinois with her husband and three children.
