Ms. Yung's passion for the culinary carving art and her desire to be recognized as one of the best artists in the culinary carving world have motivated her to working hard on improving her skills.  

Ms.Yung has studied under three highly regarded carving masters in the US:  Chef James Parker, founder of Veggy Art;  Chef Jimmy Zhang, founder of Art Chef Inc.;  and Chef Jean-Marc Montjarret, founder of JM Creative Designs.

She continues working on enhancing her carving artistry by practicing and developing her own styles, studying numerous advanced carving books for ideas, and working on creating many centerpiece projects for her clients.  Her art work could be seen at www.veggygifts.com

Ms. Yung's love and devotion to this great art are evident by her own artistic creations and her commitment in training her students.  Ms. Yung has taught fruit and vegetable carving to many professional chefs, culinary school students, amateur adults, and young budding artists in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.

In addition to conducting classes at her home in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Ms. Yung has also taught carving classes for Chef James Parker, founder of Veggy Art, and the 2008 Food Network™  Challenge Fantasy Fruit Sculptures Champion.  She has also worked with Chef Parker on several of his buffet centerpiece projects for his clients in the local D.C. area.

Ms. Yung has offered her culinary carving skills to a number of non-profit organizations as her contributions to their funds raising efforts.

 Being the volunteer culinary art teacher for the DC Central Kitchen, where she teaches students of the Culinary Arts Job Training program the art of food garnishing, is one of her favorites and most rewarding experiences.

Aside from being a culinary carving artist, Ms. Yung also does beautiful work with her carved soaps for gifts and for house decoration.
