Jane Kim inspires people to love and protect the Earth one work of art at a time. Taking cues from the great tradition of science illustration, she creates works that are relevant to important issues of the moment, that consider the relationships between endangered species and humanity, as well as how technology is shaping urban ecosystem and our own sense of place and belonging. ARTIST STATEMENTArt is a powerful tool for communication. It has the ability to touch an individual from all angles whether it is intellectual, visceral or both. Nature does the same thing. My goal as an artist is to communicate information about the natural world that is so fascinating through visual art.Our planet is home to incredible and wondrous life. I feel most excited, both visually and intellectually in nature. Combining that with my passion for art leaves me with unrefined excitement and sharing even a fraction of that with the rest of the world is the best gift that I know how to give. EDUCATION California State University, Monterey Bay Master of Science Illustration, 2010 The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Bachelor of Fine Arts, Printmaking 2003 European Honors Program, RISD Independent Study of Art 2001-2002 UPCOMING PROJECTS Cornell Lab of Ornithology Mural in the Lab’s Visitor Center Subject – Evolution of Birds Baltimore National Aquarium 3 murals for new permanent exhibit Subject – Atlantic Seashores RECENT PROJECTS Migrating Mural - Series of 6 murals painted along California’s Highway 395 to bring awareness to endangered migratory animals.
