Hongmi Kim Hoog is a Korean ceramic artist based in the New York metropolitan area. Working with Yeollimun (연리문) and related layered-clay techniques, she explores the transformation of straight, ordered clay layers into complex sculptural vessel forms.

Her process involves arranging contrasting clays, compressing, cutting, folding, and reassembling them. Through this approach, the layers become both the structure and visual language of her work.

Rooted in Korean ceramic traditions and shaped by her experiences living and working in the United States, her practice explores memory, identity, containment, resilience, and transformation.

Hongmi Kim 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.

She completed an artist residency at Greenwich House Pottery in 2023 and received the 2026 NCECA Multicultural Fellowship. Her work was included in the 2026 NCECA Annual Exhibition, Absence Takes Form, and selected for the 2027 NCECA Annual Exhibition, THROW/BACK. She was also selected as a 2027 NCECA Short Form presenter and became a Signature Member of the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) in 2026.
