Cultivating a slow and layered approach to art making with Julie Kim
Julie Kim, artist, joins me for today's conversation about the many layers of art and creativity. We chat about cultivating a slow approach to art-making, exploring our inner landscapes, designing an inspiring space and more. She also shares about the intriguing process of making your own paint pigments, and her beautiful journey in Peru.
Julie Kim is an artist, designer, and pigment worker from Seattle, Washington. In her paintings she explores the movement of light, color, and energy in the spaces where inner and outer worlds overlap. Using natural handmade and synthetic paints, she weaves elements of the material landscape together with the felt and subtle experience, the lightness and density of which are mirrored in her palette. Her curiosity for landscape and pigment has led her to explore mountains, rivers, deserts, and jungles of the world, cultivating a closer relationship with Earth and a deeper understanding of the inner world. Each pigment discovery contributes to her handmade mineral paint palette and informs a vocabulary of shapes that characterize her paintings: wild growth of jungle foliage, fluidity of the wind, crystallized light, and clear horizons. Her paintings bring to light an unseen story, layering dimensions of pigment, landscape, and spirit onto paper.
