about the piece.
Kim describes this piece, "I love the tactile aspect of art, especially the energy created by smearing oil pastels into one another. When I created this piece, I was searching for Bridget—thinking perhaps she was among the stars or in another dimension. I loved the effect of the white star over an otherwise complete piece."
about the artist.
In 2009, Kim’s 16-month old daughter and only child, Bridget, died from complications related to a genetically inherited kidney disease. Kim participates in a local art therapy program for the bereaved and has discovered art as a way to better understand herself, make peace with her grief, and spend time with her daughter.
