Mrs. Kim's

Art Room

Welcome to Mrs. Kim's Art Room! This will be my sixth year of teaching elementary art and I am very excited to be working with both communities. I love helping students imagine and create artwork every day!

I am originally from Michigan but my family and I have lived in Colorado for thirteen years. I have a degree in Biology/Fine Art from Central Michigan University and a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design from University of Cincinnati. When I am not teaching, I love hiking, swimming, reading, painting with watercolors, making collages, traveling and spending time with my 3 children and husband.
