Kim emphasized in printmaking at the University of Colorado Boulder and graduated with a degree in Art Practice and Psychology in May of 2018. Through studying psychology she gained an insight into how people process and interact with the world around them. In contrast, her faith gave her a deeper appreciation and new perspective of beauty and creation.

As an artist, Kim desires to create work that brings forth truth, conveys emotion, and challenges the viewer to reflect on the art. We live in an ever-evolving world filled with distractions, a need for efficiency, and conflict. Our relationships and appreciation of the world around us have been altered. Kim creates because art is universal, relational, and evocative. Art forces us to pause and contemplate what is immediately in front of us while guiding us to a deeper truth. Through art, we can foster community, form a newfound appreciation of the world and people around us, and prompt change through beauty.
