Misun Holdorf was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to the beautiful Island of Guam as a teenager,  where she found her first tropical inspiration for her paintings. She took art classes, flew the world as an airline employee, and lived in many different cities and islands. From then on, she was influenced in many ways to create and express her passion on canvas, using vibrant color and texture. Her palette knives and oil paints translate her impressionistic excitement into powerful representations of the natural world.

Shortly after moving from Florida to California, Misun was awarded first place for Top 100 artists in San Diego by the Southwestern Artist Association in 2016. Her work hangs in private and corporate collections worldwide.
