She has attended residencies including Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT, MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA, and Trestle Art Space, Brooklyn, NY. Ahn Graduated from Duk-Sung Women’s University, Seoul and received her M.F.A in painting and drawing from Pratt Institute and currently lives and works in Brooklyn and Seoul.
