Hi, I'm Kim, a multi-disciplinary artist originally trained as a painter. ✌🏼
I employ various expressive forms, ranging from paintings and three-dimensional still lifes to handcrafted jewelry, bells, and small bronze sculptures.

Born in Baghdad and raised in Germany, I came to the United States to study art at Limestone College in Gaffney, South Carolina. After completing my graduate work at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, I became active in the arts community in Greater Cleveland, Ohio, co-founding of the Dead Horse Gallery in Lakewood, Ohio, and exhibiting my work extensively, both in the United States and in Europe.
