Often told by her peers that her work is reminiscent of Gustav Klimt, the Viennese artist of the 19 th century, she paints in both oil and watercolor to create colorful textures and moods. KU paints with her imagination, transforming composition and color into emotion. I love creating the kind of art that reverberates something within the soul of every viewer.
