| Korean born Jane Choi came to America parlaying her biology degree into a successful multi faceted career as a make-up artist. She brings experience, inspiration, and passion to all her work making her a true devoted artist. Working in all areas of film and print, including fashion, beauty and advertisement, as well as character and special effects makeup for films, television, commercials and music videos.
Beginning in 1996 with four seasons of Saturday Night Live, doing personal make up for Jim Breuer, Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, to NBC's Dateline with Ann Curry, Stone Phillips and Jane Paulie. On Films such as Chasing Amy with Ben Affleck, Boys Don't Cry with Hilary Swank, to period make up on and Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, sitcoms and prime time soaps like Spin City and Ugly Betty, not to mention print work in Fortune, Life, Time, GQ, Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar magazines. Also, Got Milk, Monopoly, Barbie and flying fairies over New York City for a Dodge car commercial.
One of the things that thrill's Jane as much as creating a character, aging someone 30 years for a film, or painting 200 mimes for a Verizon commercial, is the challenge of something new, something she's never done before. Like giving someone Psoriasis skin disease, surgery stitches and scars for medical books, meticulously painting every detail of an entire Monopoly board on a set of hands, turning a human into a Neanderthal, covering Mike Rowe with every conceivable piece of garbage for the TV show Dirty Jobs, or converting a stuffed female duck into a male duck with Airbrush. Lets not forget recreating stale and decayed fungus on perfectly good food.
Recently, Jane's biography was published in Korea, documenting the journey she took from independent projects, to the White House, having done the make up for two presidents, their wives, and their staff. Based in New York City, with her husband, and two children, she has traveled the world bringing her professionalism to any project that comes her way, no matter the budget, or challenge, Jane truly loves her work. |
