“When we can take that extra moment and really look at the details, that’s when we find our peace, our content, our inspiration.” Kim

Though not limited to her floral paintings, she is inspired by the blooms she surrounds herself with—observing them from bud to decay. This deep attention to nature, beauty, transformation and detail is reflected in her art, teaching and retreats.
