Kim’s mission for the Gallery at HACPAC is twofold. By bringing compelling and lively exhibitions to the community, Kim hopes to encourage a deeper appreciation for art, as it holds the power to greatly enrich our lives, especially in today’s fast paced, high-tech world. Additionally, while exhibiting the works of more established artists, Kim also seeks out new motivated artists who have built cohesive and intriguing bodies of work. As a full-time working artist herself, Kim is aware of how challenging it can be for emerging artists to be granted gallery exhibitions and believes in offering opportunities for new creatives to show their work. In addition to her work as Gallery Director and Curator for the Gallery at HACPAC, Kim works as the in-house artist at hOMe Store, an interior design and furnishing store in Hawthorne, NJ. There, she paints original pieces in her studio and also creates commissioned works specifically for clients’ spaces. Kim is also represented by Barsky Gallery of Hoboken, NJ, CINQ Gallery in Dallas, TX, The Art Collective Gallery in Rogers, AR, and also exhibits at Glen Hansen Studios in Southold, NY, as well as the Gallery at HACPAC.
