Kyumbee Kim, a mixed media artist, art teacher, and art therapy graduate student based in San Jose, California. Born and raised in Korea, she creates paintings, drawings, and collages that layer representational imagery, textured marks, and geometric and linear elements inspired by weather maps.

Her art-making is a form of prayer and contemplation. Drawn to landscapes and natural elements, she explores the presence of God and the value of both tangible forms and invisible substances, often overlooked amid the busyness and distractions of the material world.

Her artistic practice, teaching, and studies in art therapy share an interest in art as a form of exploration and communication beyond words. She is interested in how the creative process can offer space for reflection, self-discovery, and connection with oneself and others. Through these experiences, she continues to explore the ways art can reveal both the visible and invisible aspects of human experience.
