Bio

Growing up in Korea, Kim found art quite naturally. She was a quiet child who enjoyed reading, drawing, calligraphy, and other peaceful activities. After graduating from Seoul Women’s University with a BFA she pursued an international education, completing an MA at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, then an MFA at New York’s Pratt Institute. Each place and experience has informed her creative process. Kim’s work, which is made up of lines that follow the flow of her intuitive mind, has been shown in cities like New York, Chicago, Miami, and Seoul.
