Her fascination with the natural world, from the vibrant colors of sunset on uranium mountains to the electric intensity of an impending thunderstorm, is at the heart of her paintings. Kim is particularly interested in expressing the emotions evoked by being in nature, using color and form to explore the changing moods of the environment.

With a background in mental health and yoga, Kim spent over 20 years teaching wellness programs at luxury retreats around the world before turning her focus fully to art. Her experiences, from living in South and Southeast Asia to teaching in Bhutan, deeply influence her creative process. Now, painting has become her primary source of wellness.

Dividing her time between Crestone and Denver, Kim continues to draw inspiration from the high alpine valleys and natural wonders surrounding her home, with elk, yak, and towering peaks often playing central roles in her work.

Her latest collection of original pieces will be unveiled at our next virtual art show “Fancy That“, which opens on November 14th at 10am MST. The show will close on November 16th at 4pm MST. Be sure to create your free Collector Account early so you are prepared for the show open!
