Kim recently retired from a 30-plus year career in corporate graphic design and illustration. Typically preferring to work with dry media, including colored pencil, graphite and charcoal, she became interested in pastel as a medium about 25 years ago. Through trial and error plus advice from artist friends, she taught herself the basics of pastel painting. She furthered her skills through intensive workshops, studying with such notable pastellists as Jim Pollard, Terri Ford, Tom Christopher, and Marla Baggetta. Kim paints primarily landscapes, figures and portraits, with the occasional quirky still life sneaking into the collection. Her Midwest roots and new home in Las Cruces, NM inspire her dreamlike prairie and enchanted high desert impressions through her pastel paintings.
