About the Exhibition
This exhibition at the John H. Milde Gallery is to share my mother’s extraordinary passion for art and her strong dedication to family. Her vitality and enthusiasm were persistent and unending.
The works are displayed into two sections: works by my mother and works by three succeeding generations. The eastern culture that I grew up in is reflected in her works.
Her desire to incorporate new observations in the western environment brought further interest to explore in painting. She sometimes painted, sitting next to me, the subject that I was working on. Examples in the show are the water lilies and Cyclamen flowers. We also had fond memories of outings to the lake with a sketch book in one hand hoping to capture something interesting in nature. Discussion would usually follow afterwards.

About the Artist
Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Jenny Hong DeLaughter’s observations of the world were influenced by a blend of eastern and western cultures. An early emphasis on highly detailed renderings began to give way to a desire to explore more abstract expression.
Her works are executed spontaneously in which intuitive, gestural strokes become the “words” of an inner dialogue in the painting process. Years of private art lessons and formal studies resulted in a Master of Fine Arts degree from Texas Woman’s University in 2013. Jenny lives and paints in Dallas, Texas, and has exhibited works in numerous juried group and solo shows.
