2D Instructor | Painting
Kim has been drawing her whole life and received a BA in Graphic Design in 1996. In 1997, she decided to pick up watercolors and fell in love with this water based, non-toxic medium. After 20 years as a massage therapist and feeling the whisper to paint more seriously, the pandemic of 2020 gave her perspective to follow her heart and make art her living. Soon after, Kim started accepting personal commissions, taking great pride and satisfaction in creating something so personal and special that would be treasured for years to come.
In 2023, she felt called to share her knowledge with others. Since then, she has been teaching watercolor and has learned how to start from the beginning and give prospective students the information they need to be successful. Kim finds painting to be a healing, introspective process that can drown out the intensity of the world and help create peace within and hopes to spread that gift to others. Her favorite part of teaching is witnessing her students get excited as they build their skills and create something they’re proud of.
Learning and growing within a safe supportive community is so important.
Kim is a member of SCAA and has been showing her work there in various shows over the last few years. She received Best Water Media in the Annual Members Exhibit in 2024 and 2026 and Honorable Mention in the Paint Print & Drawing Annual show in 2026.
Inspiration is everywhere and continues to provide endless ideas for creative works.
