Hongmi Kim Hoog is a ceramic artist whose work bridges Korean tradition and contemporary material exploration. She holds an MFA in Ceramic Art from The City College of New York, an MA in Studio Art from New York University, and a BFA in Ceramic Art from Ewha Womans University. Born and raised in South Korea, she draws inspiration from her homeland’s ceramic heritage and her mother’s quiet strength.

Working with Yeonlimun (연리문) and related layered-clay methods (nerikomi/neriage/agateware), she builds intricate patterns and rich textures by combining porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware. Her recent works incorporate crystal glazes and natural lacquer (ottchil, 옻칠) to create luminous surfaces with depth and resonance.

She completed a residency at Greenwich House Pottery (New York) in 2023. Her work has been selected for exhibitions including the Jingdezhen International Ceramic Art Biennale (China), the Biennal de Ceràmica d’Esplugues Angelina Alós (Spain), and the Guilford Art Center Ceramics Biennial (USA). In 2025, her work was selected for the Mediterraneo Contemporary Ceramics Competition (Italy), and in 2026 for ABSENCE TAKES FORM—NCECA Annual Exhibition (Detroit). She is also a recipient of the NCECA 2026 Multicultural Fellowship.
