Han Mi-Soon

Mi-Soon attended correspondence courses and worked in an office for several years before a traffic accident in 1984 which left her paralysed from the neck down. Four years after the accident, she began painting with her mouth, marking the start of a new artistic journey. In 1989, just one year later, she was awarded a scholarship by the Association, allowing her to develop her skills further. She became an Associate Member of the VDMFK in 1992 and was promoted to Full Member in 1995.

Mi-Soon’s works reflect her personal journey, embodying her wishes, dreams, and recovery process. Her favourite subjects include landscapes and flowers, symbols of her profound love of nature. Her paintings, often abstract and symbolic, convey themes of wisdom and faith.

Throughout her career, Mi-Soon has received numerous awards and honours for her artistic achievements. She has organised several solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions, sharing her expressive work with a wide audience.

In addition to painting, Mi-Soon enjoys literary pursuits. She writes essays, poems, novels, and children’s stories, typing them with her mouth — another demonstration of her creativity and resilience.
