Do you wish to collect an art piece about you and your beloved furry friends?
Artnnect is pleased to announce an exciting campaign for fur-parents. Artnnect will be collaborating with renowned Korean illustrator ( @drawingmary ) on the "A Day with You" campaign with commaa ( @commaa.hk ), a warm cultural space and cafe. Participants are invited to share a photo of themselves with their furry companions to commission drawingmary for a new art piece that captures their precious memories. This special artwork will be exhibited at commaa in late March during art week of this year which will be announced more in future, alongside drawingmary's own creations. For those interested in commissioning drawingmary for an artwork, please contact Artnnect via the link in bio to learn more.
Artist's Introduction:
drawingmary ( b. 1984, Seoul ) explores the profound connection between personal experience and creative expression. The illustrator embraces the concept of “painting joy,” capturing moments of cheerful liveliness that reflect the spirit of “Mary.” Through her work, she invites viewers to connect with the vibrant energy and joyful memories embodied by the figures on her canvas.
A prominent presence in her artwork is Day, a fluffy white dog and loyal companion to Mary. Day entered Mary’s life unexpectedly, providing companionship during the early stages of her artistic journey when she often found joy in solitude. Each piece by drawingmary serves as a testament to their pure friendship, a bond that promises many more years of shared joy.
drawingmary holds a bachelor's degree in Animation from Hansung University in Seoul, which she earned in 2008. Her work has been extensively exhibited throughout Korea, including Daegu Shinsegae Gallery (2025), Gwangju Sinsegae Gallery (2024), Tail Coffee (2024), The Hyndai Seoul (2024), Lotte Gallery (2023), and more. She also engages in a variety of artistic forms, including acrylic painting and digital drawing. The artist has collaborated with well-known brands such as Casetify (2023), Laneige (2020), Hoegaarden (2019), and Primera (2018), in addition to creating cover art for various publications. Notably, she published the 'Merry' series, Korea’s first acrylic coloring book. drawingmary currently resides in Seoul.
