WriteToMin is a self healing experiment to acknowledge and unblock hidden feelings. Multiple layerings of fluorescent pink and green with black and white applied with pencil, pen, brush, roller, knives and ink, acrylic, oil, repurposed tape colored by other projects and calligraphy in both English & Korean to create large canvases as pieces of a whole. Each piece is an organic evolution of mood and reactions to memories uncovered in from daily journalling. These are transcribed onto giant canvases to exposing what’s been hidden for so many years. Fluorescent pink and green hues challenge the tradition of calligraphy as a statement reflective of her life in Seoul, Korea and now in Brooklyn, USA. English and Korean words are applied layer over layer into subliminal textures and tones. Each layer is photographed when complete before being covered by the next. This process is repeated until a natural end is arrived.












                                            
Being here
by Min Ko
2015 - ongoing



In a world that moves quickly, we return to what is simple: breath, light, laughter, stillness.
These short films are small windows into real life—moments lived fully, softly, as they are. Accompanied by reflections rooted in mindfulness, science, and spirit, they invite you to slow down, and remember that being alive is already enough.

This is not about doing more.

This is about being here.

Art is process
by Craig Smith and Min Ko
mixed media

"Art is process" emphasizes that the journey of creation—the experimentation, exploration, and actions—is as important as, or even more important than, the final finished product. This idea focuses on the creative experience, and the interaction between us and our materials, rather than on achieving a specific outcome.

Art Aqui
by Smith and Ko

coming soon 2026 spring  -










“ Aqui”, is spanish word for “here”

This space for mindfulness through making and experiencing, where children naturally learn to be present because they're engaged with something real.
The best learning happens when kids forget they're learning.

In our busy world, children learn to perform, but here, they learn to truly look.

We work with children ages 6-11 years old, that sweet spot where they're naturally curious but haven't yet learned to be self-conscious about their creative expression. This is the perfect time to nurture genuine seeing before the world teaches them to perform.

As practicing artists, we share our studio time because we believe authentic creativity can't be taught from a curriculum - it emerges when children feel safe to explore.
In small bilingual groups, English flows naturally through art-making while kids discover what happens when they create from curiosity rather than judgment.

This isn't mindfulness through sitting still and talking about feelings.
