Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Teresa received a degree in Fine Arts (B.F.A.) from the University in Seoul.

Today, her work features ornate floral and geometrical lines, ranging from acrylic on canvas or paper, to pieces of solid wood and paper collage. She has since participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Seoul, New York and several local art shows in the GTA: Mill Pond Gallery, Varley Art Gallery, McMichael Canadian Art Collection and Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.

Teresa now resides in Richmond Hill, a resident for 10+ years, where she continues to practice her art.
