Biography

Heather Kim is a visual artist who is currently based in New York.

She studied Oriental painting at Seoul National University, one of South Korea's most prestigious institutions, and completed graduate-level coursework in art criticism, establishing a strong foundation in visual theory and interpretation.

After relocating to the United States, she worked as a graphic designer for over 20 years, during which she began translating her perspective on the world into visual art.
