Kim is a Canadian artist living and working in Basel, Switzerland. She has a "Bachelor of Fine Arts" obtained from the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada. Kim has participated in a number of solo and group exhibitions across Europe, U.S. and Canada.
Kim’s creative process is inspired by how we create our night dreams. Her results become "Abstracted Dream Scenes". We are drawn in, searching and finding meaning within chaos. These works are ever-evolving invitations into the portals of the imagination as well as dynamic shape-shifters over time. The pulse and presence of their energy can always be felt.
Kim is a Member and Chair of the "Arts Committee for the - International Association for the Study of Dreams" (IASD), and a Member of "Visarte and Regroupement des Artist en Art Visuelle" (RAAV).
