About Kim and Her Site

I've been told that I began to get into art soon after I learned how to hold a pencil in my hand. All I know is that ever since I was a small child, I've been doing something creative, whether it was drawing a picture in crayons or learning about embroidery or making a masterpiece in Play-Doh or wowing my art teachers in school with my artwork so much that a few of my pieces were entered into the local county-wide art show that was displayed in local shopping malls.

As an adult I've also done some creative things that wowed people. In 1999 I had one of my sites nominated for "Best Recreational Site" at the annual South by Southwest Interactive Festival. (I lost to another site but it was still a thrill being nominated in the first place.)

My biggest regret was that I got my bachelor's degree in Journalism instead of Art because I was stupid enough to listen to adults (like relatives, teachers, and others in positions of authority) who told me that majoring in Art was self-indulgent, would lead me into poverty as a starving artist, or would drive me to do crazy acts (like chopping off one of my ears like Vincent Van Gogh). I was never able to quite break into the journalism field so over the years I held a variety of low-paying clerical jobs that I never enjoyed and I'm not proud of.

Well, I've tried to rectify myself by taking art classes whenever I have the time or money and I've also done art projects on my own as well. Of course my biggest dream is to have a major show in a prestiegeous art gallery but I'd be happy if I sold my work to people who totally enjoy it.
