Artist Mijin Chun to present “Poetic Circus,” a Solo Exhibition at Beach Kraft Studio and Gallery. Olney, MD - Artist Mijin Chun will present her solo exhibition, “Poetic Circus,” at Beach Kraft Studio and Gallery, with an opening reception on September 05, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. The exhibition will be on view from September 05 through September 30, 2026. Born in New Jersey and raised in South Korea, visual artist Mijin Chun discovered her passion for art at an early age, secretly sketching portraits during the notorious Korean high school schedule. After earning a degree in fashion design from Seoul Women’s University, she continued her studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Mijin Chun launched her career as a fashion designer and illustrator in New York, where her artwork was featured on products sold at premier retailers such as Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. Although marriage and motherhood shifted the course of her personal and professional life, Mijin Chun reignited her passion for art in the fall of 2023. Since then, her paintings have been selected for numerous juried exhibitions. Notably, she received the People’s Choice Award in the Highly Animated show at Beach Kraft Gallery in both 2024 and 2025. Chun’s “Poetic Circus” acrylic gouache series explores a two-dimensional world painted on flat watercolor paper. Her SurReality Show, inspired by the contrasting realms of two dimensions and the circus, presents a visual “world” that bears bruises and tears yet remains humorous and dreamlike. “These two worlds- the two-dimensional and the circus- feel like unidentical twins, and I am often drawn to both. They are my irresistible, long-time muses,” Mijin Chun explains. She describes her small-scale works as “Tiny Treasure,” finding that 6” x 6” is the perfect scale for these intimate pieces. With admiration for the Rococo and Baroque styles and a deep fondness for the enchanting realm of Korean costume, Mijin Chun is naturally drawn to the opulent details of vintage eras, delicate textiles, sophisticated embroidery, and elaborately adorned hairstyles. These subjects are among her favorites to explore. Mijin Chun’s fascination with the vintage stems from her appreciation of the beauty created through hours of both endurance and delight. She imagines the creators’ personal stories woven into every stitch and brushstroke. With great delight in sharing her art with you, Mijin Chun hopes, “[her] art will endure and inspire you just as profoundly.” See the “Poetic Circus” exhibition at the gallery, Tuesday through Sunday, 12 PM to 8 PM, throughout September. An opening reception will be held Saturday, September 05 at 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Artist receptions at the gallery are always free to attend. Beach Kraft Art Gallery is an eclectic, modern gallery that represents the original creations of over 20 local and nationally based artists in a 2,500-square-foot open space. The gallery promotes diversity, equality, and inclusion for all guests, artists, and employees. Our mission is to promote art locally, using a working studio and classroom in tandem with the gallery, in ways that benefit the environment and support eco-friendly practices.

Lavender Rose Boutiques

Lavender Rose Boutiques is a women-owned small business situated in Olney, Maryland. I have built my brand on timeless, thoughtfully curated fashion that is always stylish. From American-made brands to international labels, I source unique pieces that keep Lavender Rose Boutiques effortlessly fashionable and ahead of the trends. My passion for fashion began as a children’s clothing designer in Harare, Zimbabwe. Working with leading clothing manufacturers, I gained hands-on experience in the entire design and production process—from concept to creation. I moved from Zimbabwe to Italy, and then to England, where I took on the role of a fashion buyer, overseeing luxury boutiques and putting together collections. I am thrilled to start my own fashion adventure, mixing my international experiences into a one-of-a-kind creative vision. The boutique is more than just a shop. It's a place to connect, share style inspiration and celebrate local charm. I am excited to join this neighborhood and can’t wait to collaborate, connect, and grow together. Fondly, Audra
