Artist Bio

Kim is a Pacific Coast–based multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses material objects, pigment, and written interpretive work. Her studio operates as an atelier, where language, color, and form are approached with equal attention and restraint.

Trained across both traditional lineages and contemporary methods, Kim develops limited-cycle works that engage the senses and the inner life through material presence, symbolic structure, and careful composition. Her practice treats objects and texts not as products, but as companions,intended to be handled, lived with, and returned to over time.

Working across adornment, pigment, and personal mythic mapping, Kim situates her work within a broader cultural and psychological context. Each piece is shaped through attentive listening and slow construction, emphasizing continuity, proportion, and depth rather than immediacy or instruction.

Through Wildthorne, Kim produces bespoke and limited offerings that function as artifacts of reflection, vessels for observation, material engagement, and sustained relationship.
