Herion Park is a Korean-American visual artist and fashion designer.

Her art is informed by the immigrant experience, the spiritual and biological ties of family and, the inescapable politics of our time, as well as the unifying power of love. Her media include an array of materials with fiber playing a prominent role throughout. 

Her art contemplates and scrutinizes vital interrelationship between the costumes we wear and the thorny cultural world we all navigate. She believes that aside from the theatrical ephemera, fashion has the potential to transmute into a critical language that communicates a message to and from our time, a kinetic art-form with many layers of meaning and relevance to our sociology.

She sees costume, both historical and contemporary, as inextricably woven into particular socio-politics of a period, from its sources to its symbolism, to its consequences on, and for, every aspect of the human condition and the environment.  She sees it encompassing and existing as a vital component of our understanding of gender, race, and societal status.

Her passion for teaching is for her, a natural extension of her art, that makes a safe space for conversations about our shared humanity.

She received a BFA in Painting and Fashion Design and MDes in Fashion, Body and Garment at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago IL., and has participated in an expansive list of significant exhibitions.  She has been invited to participate in several residency programs among them The Vermont Studio, Hambidge and Yaddo.
