Robert Choe-Henderson is a gay Korean American artist and educator from Orlando, Florida. Inspired by the resiliency of the Asian diaspora across fine arts, craft, and book cultures, Robert uses his training in traditional East Asian papermaking and book arts to explore ethnic and gender dynamics within Asian American identity, connecting Korean roots to American jadedness. His mission is to promote and teach the rich histories of Korean craft as part of a small handful of hanji instructors in the United States.
Robert is a development committee member of the Korean American Artist Collective, finding community among other Korean American artists in search of social change and justice. He holds a BFA in Studio Arts from Western Carolina University, and an MFA in Book Arts from the University of Iowa Center for the Book. His most recent accolades include the Spring 2023 AiR at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith and a 2023 Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.
