The happy horse maker, Kim JeomSon

Unfortunately, there isn't a wealth of information about this artist on the web. What I can glean from the lady at her gift shop and naver are that she is about 60 years old, and studied at Hongdae. Her style is delightfully child-like. She paints horses, other animals, flowers, and a few figures, with the same bright colors, and simple stylizations that fit notebook covers, mugs, and neckties so naturally. It would be nice to be able to find information on contemporary Korean artists a bit more easily...
