Yong Hui No

Yong Hui No grew up in South Korea and immigrated to the United States with her family at the age of 14 and lives in Taylorsville, Utah.  Her passion for art began at a young age. As a child she was surrounded by art, dance and music, inspiring her interest in fine art. Yong’s art originated with her intrigued ancient Asian art and always wanted to be an artist and
was deeply interested in the effects of color that came alive on canvas.  She experimented with different mediums over the years, including Sumie, pastel, oil, and acrylic, before choosing her favorite, watercolor. 
 

Yong Graduated from West High School, where she began to blossom as an artist even in her early years, with mentors like Maurine Haltiner, who instilled an incredible love of art and encouraged Yong to pursue her artistic nature. Maurine Haltiner inspired the young student by purchasing the first painting Yong ever sold.
 

Yong was awarded a scholarship to the University of Utah, where she received her B.F.A.  While there, she studied under several talented individuals such as Edward Maryon, Paul Davies, and Tony Smith. 

​

Yong is a current member of the Utah Watercolor Society and Sandy Guild Watercolor. She enjoys the pleasure of rubbing shoulders from a variety of talented artists to paint.  She has continued to advance her painting skills over the years by attending workshops from well-known artists.  In addition to displaying at galleries and teaching beginner students, she has enjoyed doing commissioned work upon request.  She has learned to fine-tune her craft and focus in on watercolor techniques due to their influence.
