Hello! I'm Alice Yoo, a digital artist who, with the help of AI, creates art that evokes an emotion. Back in 2008, I co-founded an art and culture blog called My Modern Met where I curated art, daily. That blog became hugely popular with over 6 million visitors a month. My favorite part of that job was that I got to be exposed to thousands of different artists, many of whom I was able to make go "viral." I actually got the chance to change the trajectory of artists' lives by giving them free exposure. My Modern Met became a huge hub of inspiration, where other popular websites would come to repost our content.

That was my job for seven years.

Though I loved curating art, I always felt the longing to be on the other side, to be the artist. So, here I am, almost two decades later, finally living my dream.

So what did I do in those "in between" years? I tried to be a lifestyle blogger like Joanna Goddard at Cup of Joe and Joy Cho at Oh Joy!. My blog was called Adventures of Yoo but I found that I was too shy to share my private life. Classic introvert. (Who knows? I may revive it one day!) I created a podcast about people living successfully with a mental illness called Smashing the Stigma (that I've since taken down). And then I created a YouTube channel (that I stopped). My second most popular video was the one where I described what having bipolar disorder feels like.

My latest gig, an online shop that's still alive and well today, features hand-lettered graphic t-shirts for the modern feminist. The shop is called Skylar Yoo (after the daughter I wish I had). GRIT is my favorite tee.

It's been a long journey but I think I've finally found my calling! You see, I believe that all of my experiences have culminated into becoming what I've always dreamed of becoming...an artist! I hope you find my art inspirational and I hope that you also pursue your dreams!
