Academy of Realist Art

Suwhan Lim

Suwhan attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for his undergraduate studies and subsequently pursued independent studies in Paris, Florence, and Rome for a year.

After moving back to Canada, he enrolled at the Academy of Realist Art. After one year of study here, he began teaching the drawing program, including figure and portrait drawing.

Currently, Suwhan is working in the games industry using the great foundational skills acquired at the Academy to create photorealistic 3D models, as well as teaching drawing and painting through virtual classes at ARA. Aside from traditional and 3D art, he also specializes in helping students prepare their portfolios for their post-secondary applications for their dream schools.
