Sun Bauer was born in Korea. At an early age she developed a great love and appreciation of art. Using a limited amount of art supplies that were available to her she developed her skills as a self-taught artist. During her time in school Sun entered many competitions and did very well. At the age of 19 she left Korea to live in the United States. Sun eventually moved to Kansas and married Bob Bauer where she continued to paint and win awards.

Sun believes that art is an ongoing learning experience. In her practice as a growing artist she began to take classes at the Johnson County Community College. She also worked and studied with many local artists in the area. She prefers to work with oils and watercolors. Her work consists of: portraits, landscapes, murals and still life paintings. Sun's paintings range in size from 3"X4" miniatures, 30"X40" wall hangings to full wall murals. Sun has the remarkable ability to look at people, objects and landscapes and reproduce them within her art with great beauty.

Sun has shown her work in several galleries in the area:
Rice Gallery, Bohemian Gallery and Hutchinson Gallery.
