Kyungmin Park

Kyungmin Park is a South Korean-born ceramic artist. Her work explores themes of
introspection, diversity, societal expectations, and illuminating human connections across
cultures and languages. After two decades in South Korea, she moved to the United States,
seeking greater creative opportunities. Experiencing a new language and culture and the many
challenges she faced as an immigrant made her realize that figurative sculpture is more than a
personal passion. It is a powerful tool to communicate emotions, experiences, and ideas without
the limitations that words and customs can impose.
Kyungmin earned her BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in
2008 and her MFA from the University of Georgia in 2012. She currently lives and works in
Boston and is an Associate Professor at Endicott College in Beverly, MA. She has conducted
over 40 workshops and lectures at various art institutions. 
Kyungmin was awarded the 2016 Emerging Artist of the Year from the National Council on
Education in the Ceramic Arts, the 2015 Emerging Artist Award by Ceramics Monthly
Magazine, and the Matsutani (2014-2015) and Windgate (2015-2016) Fellowships while at the
Archie Bray Foundation in MT. She has also participated in artist residencies at AIR Vallauris in

France (2011 & 2022), Jingdezhen International Studio in China (2017), Red Lodge Clay Center
(2018) in MT, and Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (2016) in ME.
