JooYoung Choi was born in the Kyung-gi Province of South Korea. The style that she paints in and the content of her work highly contrast. Choi will use playful shapes and bright colors, but focus the content of her pieces on racism, trans-racial abduction and systemic oppression. The rest of her work is comprised of portraits and auto-biographical art. She is influenced by Jean-Michel Baquiat, Egon Schiele and Yoshitomo Nara. Choi spent years studying piano, never realizing her potential with art. Three years ago she took an art class run by Professor Michael Stalling, after completing his course she changed her focus from music to art.

JooYoung Choi has participated in shows at Bunker Hill Community College, The International Womens Day Celebration for La Rivolta, and has had one Solo Show at the Community Church in Boston, Massachusetts. She has received two scholarships for her work, one from the Interdoptee Organization and another from the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program. Choi works as an Art Teacher at a local Charter School in Chelsea. In her free time she enjoys grocery shopping in Chinatown, reading books on art instruction or social justice and playing the concertina.
