Kim's work is essentially about the landscape but her response to the environment is emotional rather than pictorial. " I am interested in studying small details and in recording my own responses to nature and the elements. Throughout my career my work has become more and more abstract as I try to capture the ephemeral images of light in the landscape. Light reflected, refracted, diffused, diluted, scattered and fractured. "
Initially Kim records her observations in pencil or water colour and then develops them as charcoal drawings, oil paintings, collages or acrylic paintings.
