Upcoming Exhibitions
A collection of memories developed through monochrome art experimentation. Memories of growing up on a 50 acre bush block at Marong.
Monochromatic pieces present art in its simplest form. Through experimentation with traditional and non-traditional mediums, Kim has developed a range of unique artworks creating a sense of atmosphere, mood and emotion.
Artworks are inspired by my own childhood memories, patterns in nature, native flora and fauna, iconic buildings, moments in time, childhood pets, hobbies and typically Aussie memorabilia that many will relate to.
I have a real passion for black and white. By limiting the palette to a black, white and shades of grey, it allows the viewer to really see the artwork without being distracted by colour. By removing colour, other elements are accentuated, and the focus is directed to the relationship between light, shadow and texture.
Visitors may relate to my childhood experiences, conjuring up their own memories. They will also enjoy learning that many of the pieces were produced from recycled products and items from nature.
The exhibition will also include monochromatic artworks produced by participants of my weekly Art for Wellbeing class ‘2inspire Creatives’.

Glow in the Park
Winner of the "Loddon Mallee" Renewable Energy Art Award" for the City of Greater Bendigo.
One of ten artworks forming an exhibition that tourned regional libraries in 2019-20
Glow in the Dark Park depicts the possibility that our parks could be illuminated using a renewable energy source – bioluminescence.
As fireflies light the night sky through a chemical reaction inside their bodies, or plankton produces flashes of light in response to wave breaks on the shore, bioluminescence could be the lighting solution for urban street lights or to illuminate parks after dusk. The technology emits a “cool”, soft light and would be a very cost effective energy.
