Hyesu Lee was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. Now based in Brooklyn, she goes about her life as an illustrator, artist, muralist, comic artist and educator. “My art has always been driven by a curiosity about how people connect. I was very shy growing up, so I never knew how best to communicate with those around me. But drawing people—observing them, and learning about them—that’s my way of connecting. Art, after all, has no language barrier.”
