Comissioned Works
An avid lover of nature, animals, birds and life itself, Kim's vibrant wildlife art works move between earth, sea and sky. Each piece reveals the animal's individuality, majesty and liberation and captures Kim's own fun loving sense of compassion, spiritual connection and deep joyous gratitude.
​
With an air of wanderlust, splashes of colour and hints of form, foreign people and places are at the heart of her abstract pieces. Representing travel, emotion, intuition and imagination, this body of work explores inner and outer travel. A pervading sense of the imaginary, grace, movement and colour run through these works, sometimes playing with an abstract realism in portraiture and landscapes or with nebulous internal states of being.
​
This attitude to life and relationship with the natural world runs all through Kim's artworks and therapeutic services. In all she does is infused a joyous sense of liberty and expression and peace.
​
Kim's work has been exhibited regionally and nationally in galleries and included in public art projects. She has been featured in numerous creative arts publications. Kim also loves to bring her work to places where people gather, bringing her uplifting works to many community spaces such as cafes and wineries around the Mid North Coast where she can share her celebration of people, nature and life.
