About The Work:
Inspired by landscapes and influenced by minimalism, I enjoy bringing the outdoors in through painting, in a beautiful, simple and unexpected way. My works on paper are an abstract interpretation of moments and sights from my time spent in nature exploring lakes, mountains, forests and coastlines through hiking and camping. I love living in the city of Chicago, but I often crave a
dventures in wide open lands that renew my spirit and make me feel at peace. I use these adventures as the inspiration for my work to provide others with a momentary escape from their everyday. Using watercolors, ink, acrylic, and graphite, I think of a positive memory or a landscape I loved and then translate what I saw and felt into paint using contrasting marks and textures. About Kim:
My style is heavily influenced by graphic design, which has been my focus throughout my schooling and career. It wasn’t until 2016 when I picked up a paintbrush for the first time, but only to experiment with watercolors for a new branding project. I fell in love with the medium and began exploring it as a personal project. Sharing my paintings on social media allowed me to get noticed by collectors, interior designers and art consultants, which has inspired, propelled and enabled me to pursue painting. Today, I partner with art consulting firms and interior design studios to produce commissioned paintings and prints for homes, hotels, resorts, retail stores, cruise lines, products and more. My most notable work can be found in The Ritz-Carlton Hotels and Yacht Collection, Four Seasons Hotels, Waldorf Astoria Hotels, Bellagio Hotel, 7 For All Mankind (Milan and Berlin), Celebrity Edge Cruise Ship, Norwegian Prima and Sky Cruise Ships, and The Spells Deck produced by Chronicle Books.
