Heejung Cho is a Brooklyn-based visual artist and educator who creates wood-based sculptural paintings and woodblock prints. She has over a decade of teaching experience at institutions including Smack Mellon, P.I. Art Center, and the Museum of Arts and Design. In addition to teaching, she leads professional development workshops for educators and conducts public art demonstrations.
Heejung works across wood carving, clay, casting, sculpture, and block printmaking. Her artwork explores space, form, and memory, often looking at how materials, shapes, and structures can be taken apart and rebuilt in new ways.
Heejung teaches sculpture and block printmaking to students of all levels. She brings her experience as a practicing artist into the classroom, helping students understand both the techniques and the creative thinking behind sculpture and printmaking. In her classes, she aims to help students build creative confidence, discover their own artistic vision, and find their own voice as artists.
She has held residencies at the Museum of Arts and Design, the Newark Museum, the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and the Women’s Studio Workshop, and has received fellowships from the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
Heejung holds an MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts and a BFA in Sculpture from Seoul National University.
