I love the transparency and fluidness of watercolor and the discovery of patterns, shapes and colors. I paint primarily botanical watercolors, but also work in graphite and pen and ink. I have always been drawn to detail and enjoy the subtleties in color, differences and similarities in shape, and variation in line. I try to capture the beauty and grace that are inherent in plants and nature while giving each subject its own particular identity. 
I majored in art and went on to receive a PhD in Communicate Disorders/Learning Disabilities. I have taught in public and private schools and University settings. Throughout my professional career I have enjoyed and used my art background. I am a member in the American Society of Botanical Artists, the North Shore Art Leagues (Winnetka, IL), the Chicago Art Institute, and the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, WI. 
I have exhibited 13 art works in juried exhibitions. Examples include: “Three Tulips with Bulbs,” 21st Annual Botanical Art Exhibition, Filoli, Woodside, CA, March 2019; “Three Apples,” Union League Club, Chicago, IL., Member Art Exhibition, June, 2019; “Hibiscus with Bud,” RAM Wustum Museum of Fine Art, Dec. – April, 2018; “Tulips with Bulbs”, 19th Annual Botanical Art Exhibition, Filoli, Woodside, CA, Oct., 2017; “Two Poppies,”26th Annual Midwest Seasons Exhibit, Center for Visual Arts, Wausau, WI., March 2016; “Protea Caffra,” The Artist’s Perspective Exhibit, Center for Visual Arts, Wausau, WI, Sept. 2015; “Three Pears”, “Three Onions”, RAM Wustum Museum, Racine WI., 2015; “Hummingbird Nest”, Midwest Season Exhibit, Center for the Visual Art, Wausau, WI., March 2015.
 
I have exhibited numerous works in non-juried exhibitions that include the following: “Yellow Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid”, “Two Stem Magenta Phalaenopsis Orchid”, “White Phalaenopsis Orchid,” Heeyoung Kim Annual Brushwood Center Exhibit, Jan. 2021; “Sweet Black-Eyed Susan”, North Shore Art League Member’s Show, Sept., 2020; “Red Amaryllis,” Wilmette Public Library Art Show, Nov. – Jan. 2019-2020; “Purple Cone Flower”, Black – Eyed Susan,” “Sweet-Black Eyed Susan,” “Michigan Lily,” Kishwauketoe Art Exhibit, Green Grocer, Williams Bay WI. 2019; “Calla Lilly”, “Ranunculus”, “Red Dahlias”, Botanical Art Exhibition by Heeyoung Kim and Brushwood Artists, 2019; “Canadian Maple Leaves,” Art in the Park, Geneva Lake Foundation Exhibit, 2016; “Bird’s Nest with Feathers,” “Red Onions,”, “Chicken Feathers”, and others in a solo exhibit at the Brick Street Market, Delevan, July August 2013.
