The Colours of Summer

Kim is a Brisbane-based abstract and collage artist who creates colourful, expressive, and energetic works designed to transport viewers to new places. Her paintings invite exploration beyond what is immediately visible, revealing hidden layers of discovery beneath the surface.

Each piece is built up with many layers, reflecting Kim’s fascination with history. She incorporates fragments from the past - such as photographs, sheet music, letters, maps, or magazine clippings - embedding stories within her work. 

For Kim, art is both a creative practice and a valuable tool of support and distraction as she navigates the challenges of caring for a family member with mental health struggles.

‘The Colours of Summer’ captures the pure joy of the season - the feeling of sand between your toes, the soft ocean breeze, and the warm sun on your face. It’s a constant reminder of happy days spent on a Queensland beach.
