Oil on linen, 2024
16x16"
Artist Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Song Watkins Park, born in Changwon-si, South Korea, is a figurative painter currently based in St. Louis.
Her work explores narrative, identity, and the human psyche, often using herself as the subject to reclaim the female body as a symbol of strength and introspection. Drawing on childhood memories and literature from her upbringing, she weaves cultural reflection with universal human experiences.
Through vivid color and undefined, liminal spaces, she invites viewers to engage with layered symbolism and emotions ranging from fear to curiosity. In 2025, she exhibited at the SPRING/BREAK Art Show in New York and Field Projects, and she currently teaches in the Department of Art at Saint Louis University.
