EunYoung Sebazco, originally from Seoul, Korea, spent a decade studying and practicing as a Landscape Architect in Tokyo before relocating to New York City. There, she expanded her plant knowledge and earned certification as a professional horticulturist from the New York Botanical Garden. Over the past 16 years, she has worked with New York City Parks, enhancing and maintaining public gardens. In 2022, she showcased her work at the Philadelphia Flower Show with a Patio Garden exhibit.
She is co-founder of 'KINKA' offers services in art and design, including garden design and installation since 2020.
Her Asian heritage inspired a passion for culinary history, leading to the creation of NYC’s first rice paddies at Randall's Island in 2010. Since then, she has explored rice’s cultural and nutritional significance through lectures, exhibitions, and pop-up dinners, while preserving Korean techniques that celebrate sustainability and seasonal foods.
Her extensive journey in practicing the tea ceremony has inspired her to channel her creativity into Japanese-inspired ceramics, floral art, landscape design, culinary arts, and teaching matcha classes. Recently, she has been working on participatory art projects through Japanese tea ceremonies in collaboration with other artists.
