Kelly Han is a Korean American visual artist from New York City. She studied art in New York and Florence, earning a Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography at Parsons School of Design and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art Studio from State University of New York at Geneseo.
Kelly’s extensive global travels have endowed her with a broad international perspective, reflected in her art. However, it was the family photographs taken by her mother during her childhood, along with fond memories of perusing her artist grandfather’s collection of National Geographic magazines, that instilled in her a love of photography.
Kelly’s work encompasses numerous media, including photography, video, drawing, installation, and performance. She has exhibited at Photography Museum of Lishui, American Center for Photographers, Parsons School of Design, Photoville Festival, Pingyao International Photography Festival, Atlantic Gallery, Fountain House Gallery, Salmagundi Club, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, Superfine Art Fair, The Nippon Foundation, The Plaxall Gallery, and Herald Square Plaza. She’s a recipient of City Artist Corps Grant, Queens Arts Fund Grant, The New School Student Research Award, and Parsons Graduate Student Research Fund. Additionally, she received awards from American Society of Media Photographers, Photo District News, International Photography Awards, and Chromatic Awards.
