About Me
Thank you for visiting my shop!
I use the name JUNGART because my Korean name is Kim Yoon Jung (last name first)..
Jung means clarity, or to see clearly. So that’s the story behind the name J U N G A R T
My background education was initially in fashion design in NYC. I worked as a fashion buyer for years. Now, I am currently working from home in a completely different industry and back in school (studying art history MA)
I need this project to feel like my normal self, or abnormal self, (in my case).
What is normal anyway? No such thing..
I love creating jewelry or things that resemble jewelry.
It’s the process of creating that I take pleasure in and that is my motivation behind this shop. The outcome of whatever I create - whether that be a sale, a like, or a subscriber is not particularly something I am too concerned with, (although flattering). It is only the process of creating that I thrive on.
I am currently working with resin and dyed concrete, stones, metals and fabrics.
I repurpose, recycle, reduce and reuse materials as much as possible.
The remaining items every quarter are donated to a local women's charity for survivors of domestic abuse.
I am in the midst of posting more pieces, so this website is far from finished. Please check back to see what I'm working on!
Thank you for your interest
