Seon-Im You is a Korean-Australian artist based in Meanjin (Brisbane) Australia.

With a background rooted in metalsmithing cultivated at the Queensland College of Arts, Seon-Im sought to imbue her creations with a raw, gritty aesthetic, steering clear of the traditional glimmer of fine jewellery.

Inspired by the worlds of fashion and architecture, she deftly manipulates sterling silver wire to sculpt wearable art forms that transcend mere adornment.

While she eventually delved into crafting jewellery, Seon-Im remained steadfast in her commitment to preserving her artistic integrity. Embracing the unconventional, she ventures into the realm of "ugly" beauty, harnessing the allure of rocks and raw crystals deemed lacking in gem quality.

Through her sterling silver rings, Seon-Im artfully showcases the innate beauty of these unconventional materials, steadfastly eschewing the label of a "fine jeweller" as she forges her distinctive path in the artistic landscape.
