Kim is an abstract realism artist surrounded by forest and living on the water with her husband in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. She has a Chesapeake Bay retriever, 2 cats, 4 chickens, all kinds of wild animals visiting her yard, and a beautiful beach only 3 miles away. Her 3 adult children are all grown up with children of their own. In her spare time, she likes to travel, drink coffee on the porch, visit and playing cards with the family, and takes photographs for inspiration.

It was during her seventh-grade art class that she first felt a magnetic pull of art. Encouraged by her art teacher to observe and feel the texture of yellowing maple leaves and rough tree bark, she found herself profoundly moved by the organic beauty of the world. Now, she has an artist studio in her backyard!

A significant milestone and confidence came as she painted in Venice, Murano, and Burano, Italy, and exhibited her work at the Instituto Canossiano San Trovaso in Venice Italy.

She continued to paint for several years and made the decision it was time to enroll at the Milan Art Institute. This elevated Kim’s skills and her artwork exponentially and is now a full-time master artist. Beyond the canvas, Kim’s ambition is for every individual to own a signed original piece of artwork, reflecting her belief in the power of emotional art.
