She draws inspiration for her figurative work from her love of fashion, her training as an illustrator and earlier artists like Egon Schiele, Edvard Munch, Winslow Homer , Pierre Bonnard, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Alice Neal, and Lucian Freud . Many of Kim's paintings depict captured moments in time, drawing on the emotional aspect of the scene. Kim has been a professional Artist and art teacher for over 40 years.

STATEMENT
The ugly, raw, and ordinary parts of humanity are beautiful to me. We as people are unfinished and in perpetual process. I want my paintings to mirror this condition which is why I appreciate the initial strokes on the canvas more than the finished work. To leave my work unfinished or to have it feel unfinished is like undoing or unlearning and often feels counterintuitive. Yet it is the basis and structure behind my work.
