My name is Mary Hakenewerth. I am a recent graduate of UNC Chapel Hill with a BFA in Studio Art. I have a concentration on painting and drawing, and I work digitally as well. Before graduating I studied abroad at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. My experiences there have played a big role in the direction my artwork has taken. I am interested in merging my passion about Korean culture with my career as an artist.
Since graduating I’ve been working in the digital imaging industry, and have been studying Korean diligently to improve my skills. Studying abroad informed me of where my level was, versus where I wanted to be. I’m pretty serious about this endeavor, so I am focusing a lot on that these days as opposed to my painting.
About Previouslyafter.com
This is my personal website, primarily used for blogging, updating about my current projects, and hosting my portfolio. I still blog about South Korea even though I am back in the states at the moment. I am mostly writing about food and Korean language study, in the hopes this can serve as a resource for people reading my blog to learn a little bit about Korean culture and random things in Seoul that I loved. Much of my work is also inspired by my time in Seoul.
For more information about my artwork, please check out my portfolio.
My resume is available upon request. Please contact me through email, at downstack@gmail.com
