About

Maria Yoon was born in Seoul, Korea. After graduating from Cooper Union with a BFA, she has been living and working in NYC. When she is not in her studio, she dedicates her time to working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and running her own business as a CEO. Originally a painter - her work has become increasingly multi-media. Her latest project,
“Maria the Korean Bride,” explores the social pressure and conflict for first-generation Asian American women. Maria the Korean has been funded in part by the Pollock Krasner Foundation, NYC Cultural Affairs, Asian Women Giving Circle, and Franklin Furnace to name a few.
Her ongoing journey across America has received much media attention including The Huffington Post, which listed her documentary as "The 10 documentaries about artists in love you need to watch” and currently available on Amazon. For more, visit her second website www.mariathekoreanbride.com
