Artist Statement:
I usually start my paintings
with thumbnail sketches or
photographs. At this stage my
logical and mathematical left
brain comes in handy. I am
mainly concerned with the
composition and color scheme.
Then the right brain kicks in
its contribution. I put my
sketches and photos away and
let the painting lead the rest
of the way. The painting will
tell me when it's happy and
when it's not. I follow my gut
and give the painting what it
needs. When we are both
finally happy, I sign the
painting. When I am in the
"zone", it's like
meditating…time and thoughts
go away…I am totally in the
moment…nothing else
matters...like a runner's
high…I can stay high for a few
days just from a few hours of
painting and it's not from
turpentine!
I have an appreciation for all
forms and styles of the
creative process whether it's
art, music or dance. For me,
it must have a good balance of
technical mastery, creativity
and passion. I learn from many
sources including traveling,
different views, religion,
personalities, and divergence
of cultures and rules.
Sometimes they teach me what
to do ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Inspired by the Fauves and the Impressionist, Konnie Kim paints in bold and radiant colors. She has been developing her personal style by using strong brush strokes and unique color combinations. She is fascinated by the honesty and spontaneity of children's art.
Konnie's earlier work reflects her curious personality. She has explored almost all available medium and styles of fine art and graphic design. At the age of 19 she realized her first commercial success with licensed watercolor illustrations for a jewelry box manufacturer. Still in college she coordinated fine art shows in non-traditional settings for herself and other artists. These became known as 'Any Space Shows'. The venues included hotels, restaurants, schools, shopping malls and movie theatres, eventually totaling over 100 shows.
Konnie and her father owned and operated an art gallery and frame shop for eighteen years. In 2007, they sold the business due to his retirement and her wish to devote more time to art. Currently she is working primarily in oil. Konnie's original paintings and reproductions may be found in galleries and gift shops as well as private and corporate collections. |
