“During my creative confinement, due to the coronavirus, I focused on a series of paintings featuring water lilies. In many ancient cultures, the water lily symbolizes rebirth and peace. This beautiful calming subject matter put my mind at ease, allowing me to fall into a moving meditation while painting. It was my way of creating calm amongst the chaos around me during the global pandemic,” says Kim.

“Visual storytelling and attention to detail is my impetus in my career as a designer and continues to be the driving force in my work. My background in architecture and design, passion for travel, study of various cultures, and ongoing interest in botany influences my creative process. I’ve worked in a variety of mediums, but the lyrical nature of watercolor captivates me like no other. I’m inspired to push the limits of the medium to create bold and dynamic stories,” adds Kim.
