Into the Wilderness

Our lives are like a “wilderness” journey that is often filled with hurts, fears, confusion, and loneliness - seeming to overtake us at times. We have all experienced these at various points in our lives. Kim’s aspiration, through “Into the Wilderness,” is to give viewers hope by sharing with the world how we can avoid being consumed by trials in the wilderness, because we can have comfort knowing that we are not alone and that we are unconditionally loved by God. Kim desires that these Biblically representational and allegorical works cause viewers to dig deeper - to want to know more, to seek answers, and to strike a spiritual chord within that lasts long after her art is out of view.
