Mihee Nahm received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from Art Academy of Cincinnati and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art from The University of Texas at Austin. Nahm has held residencies at Soaring Gardens Artist Retreat, Laceyville, PA; Kimmel Harding Nelson Center, Nebraska City, NE; Brush Creek Foundation, Saratoga, WY; and Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT. She lives and works in Grapevine, TX.
Artist Statement: Inspired by living as a long time expatriate and now immigrant in America, I explore themes of memory, sense of place, and nostalgia. In my current body of work, I create oil paintings that capture a sense of poignancy found in nature. Through depicting everyday flora, I attempt to evoke bittersweet feelings of melancholy and the fleeting passage of time.
