making art work for you

From the Studio of K. Nari

Meet one of Third and Wall’s newest artists, Nari! Originally from Seoul, Korea, Nari moved to Los Angeles with her family when she was eleven years-old.  With a naturally creative talent, she studied fine art throughout her childhood and into college.  Her career as an artist has taken her from editorial illustrations for magazines and publishing & record companies to becoming an independent artist, currently.  The subject matters Nari enjoys most are florals, abstract, transitional, and landscapes, but she also enjoys exploring a variety of other subject matter. Textile design, fashion and interior design are the primary inspiration for her artwork.
