Yun Kim had an expressive style using exuberant color on canvas. She worked in several media – acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, collage, and charcoal. Her subjects included people, animals, waterfalls, creeks and landscapes, however, any subject could be captured by her eye for color and detail. She used her own photos as subject matter, then returned to her studio to work, a converted garage, a space to inspire her creativity. Working while listening to music, she used to say, “Painting helps to soothe my soul.” Her ability to capture movement in her brushwork is evident in her waterfalls, creeks, and the manes and tails of galloping horses. She worked realistically, but her brushwork was loose and impressionistic, capturing the fleeting aspect of changing light.
Her Facebook page devoted to her art was called Created in the Ozarks early on. She participated in the Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour. She received Best of Show at the Ralph Foster Museum, Branson, Missouri in 2015 and Second Place another year. She was a member of the Mid Southern Watercolor Society and the North Central Artist League of Fairfield Bay, as well as the Mountain View Art Guild.
