Own Words

My name is Mina Cheon and my Korean name is 천민정. Although I was born in Seoul, Korea and still live there during the summers, I’ve been living a very American life for the last decade. I work and live in Baltimore, Maryland and try to get to New York as much as I can and spend time as there as well. I’m currently a professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), teaching studio, new media, and liberal arts, and I’m an artist and writer as well.

I think that who you are is about what you do, so here are some of my recent activities, please check them out:
