About the Artist
Julie Kim 김미정 is a Seattle based, Korean-American artist. She creates multi-layered watercolor paintings that explore themes of wholeness, transformation, and healing. Her paintings reflect both inner and outer landscapes, guided by an internal practice of slowness and presence.
Her process includes foraging natural rocks and minerals to create handmade earth pigments and paints. More than a material practice, this becomes a collaboration and dialogue with the land — infusing each painting with a sense of place, time, and the natural elements. Painting becomes a way of bridging the natural and human-made, the wild and urban, fluidity and structure.
Beyond painting, Julie works with people therapeutically in her healing arts practice. She also facilitates classes and workshops centered on movement, painting, pigment, and community connection. Through all facets of her work, she is dedicated to nurturing creativity and embodiment as a pathway to presence, restoration, and harmony — quietly transforming the spaces between us.
