About

Wendy Park is a Korean-American painter from Los Angeles, CA. Her current series is an homage to her father who worked at swap meets, just like many other Asian immigrants did in Los Angeles during the 80’s and 90’s. Through this series, she shares how his workplace became her playground.

Wendy shares her Korean-American stories and socio-economic nuances that remind her of her childhood while capturing her family’s pursuit and manifestation of the American Dream. She hopes her depictions of personal Asian-American nostalgia will build up curiosities of the commerce and culture of the marginalized.
