Rooting for You | 응원해

Rooting for You | 응원해 is an exhibition built around words we carry, and words we need to hear. Using hand-torn Hanji and Korean letters, each work creates a moment of recognition, inviting viewers to feel seen, valued, and connected. This is a space to slow down, look closely, and allow meaning to unfold.

Eunju Park

Eunju Park is a self-taught Hanji artist based in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, born in Ulsan, South Korea. Working with Hanji, traditional Korean paper made from mulberry bark, she tears and reconstructs Hangul (the Korean alphabet) into abstract forms carrying affirmations such as You Matter and Radical Acceptance. Park began her practice later in life while navigating grief and healing, and Hanji’s resilience has become central to her work. Her practice spans exhibitions, workshops, murals, and public art, bringing Korean language and positive affirmation into shared spaces.

Fingerprints: the Wildlife of Alberta in Watercolour

The pattern of spots on a Brown Trout’s scales, the way sunlight pierces through the eddies of a stream, the bits of wrinkled bark remaining on a weathered branch - all of these deserve a moment of contemplation. All preserve the fingerprints of the Creator. This simple watercolour exhibit hopes to inspire a sense of awe and appreciation for God’s design in this region of the world.

Lewis Lehman

Lewis Lehman is a realistic watercolour artist from Red Deer, Alberta. At just 16 years old, he draws inspiration from Robert Bateman, Carl Brenders and Dustin Van Wechel. Lewis’ love of creation, various outdoor activities and his wildlife biologist (and artist) father have influenced his artistic style and subject choice. Initially drawing inspiration from his father’s realistic wildlife drawings, Lewis continued to grow his skills from there. Lewis has won all three of the art contests in which he has participated, earning small money prizes and even a computer!
