Jiyang Kim was born in Seoul, Republic of Korea. She became interested in art after she came to U.S for studying. She majored in fine art and art education at Corcoran College of Art and Design from 2009 to 2011. Her passion for art began as part of her need-desire to discover new aspects of herself. Also she wanted to clarify her goals in developing her art skills and activities. Jiyang feels a good deal of self -confidence when her work is going well. Working on her own art is like she has traveled around the world and discovered “her” style. She uses many kinds of materials like wire, button, and newspaper, to express different aspects of objects. Drawing or painting for a realistic depiction is not her style. She wants to show something that people can perceive not only with their eyes, but their ears and their hearts as well.
