Checksy is a pioneering artist who embraces the complexities of loss and depicts the intertwined journey of resilience through her distinctive checkered art. Her work transcends mere expression, delving into the deep histories and emotions hidden beyond personal hardships.

Enduring a difficult childhood marked by poverty, corporal punishment, and oppression, Checksy draws artistic inspiration from the narratives of perseverance experienced by herself and her family. Her grandfather, a Korean War veteran, and her parents, who struggled to provide for the family amidst the pain of Korea's division and an uncertain economy. The resilient spirits of these family members instilled in Checksy the strength to confront loss and recovery. Living in a country still under armistice, Checksy seeks to find her voice through art that is both confessional and healing in a modern society often shadowed by constant upheaval and conflict.

Through her distinctive checkered style, Checksy’s work embraces loss and unravels the journey of recovery amidst past pain and contemporary crises. Each checkered pattern symbolizes powerful intersections of emotion, offering viewers a chance to experience a panorama of feelings. Her art serves as a medium of communication for themes of loss and recovery, inviting audiences to discover emotional depths within themselves. Checksy weaves narratives of tenderness and healing into her creations, visually manifesting moments where loss and recovery intertwine, contributing to the dialogue surrounding individual and collective experiences of trauma in both historical and modern contexts.

Her art carries meanings beyond simple imagery, and she has established herself as a checkered artist delivering messages of resilience and recovery to many. The works resonate with those confronting their own challenges, encapsulating the healing power found within both personal and communal narratives.

Her art has garnered significant recognition, including publication at the Royal Library in Copenhagen as part of HUG's 100 Artists to Watch, a distinction awarded by a jury comprising members from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Christie's, and Artnet, selected from a competitive pool of 2,744 submissions. She was also awarded a UNV Certificate of Honor from 34 gallery project and named a Hug Visionary Artist, selected from over 1,000 applicants. Her work continues to be exhibited globally, resonating with those seeking solace and resilience through art.
