To view the paintings of Kristin Kim is to witness the creative process in action. During the years which I have known Ms. Kim as a member of the Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association, she has enthusiastically participated in all of our projects. It seems as though she lives to be an artist. Despite her busy hours as attentive wife and mother she makes time to diligently pursue her love of art. These beautiful canvases reflect the work of a very special person as well as an astute artist.
