Kim began her art career as a painter in acrylics in the late 1980's but quickly moved to sculpture. She has been sculpting since then in a wide variety of media and sizes ranging from 22' wide fiberglass dragons to fired clay figuratives to architectural ceramic pieces. Primarily self-taught (that is, learning every inch of the path the hard way,) Kim has in recent years moved away from her special effects/fantasy based mold-making work to focus intensely on one-of-a-kind fine art sculptures. These range from beautiful Art Nouveau inspired figurative plaques to busts and portraits. Her current interest is in large-scale fireplace surrounds and other architecturally related pieces.

"Why do I like ceramics? In a world of uniform commercially available products I still love the old world craftsmanship, the hand built, one of kind pieces. There is a joy in creating a sculpture that is not intended for reproduction. When making original ceramics, the only imperative is to make it beautiful."
