Genie Kim

Painting, ceramics

Genie Kim (b. Seoul, South Korea) is a Korean-Canadian artist based in Toronto. She earned her BFA from the School of Fine Arts at Hongik University in Seoul. Her work explores the love, sacrifice, and cyclical rhythms of Mother Nature, as well as the emotional restoration found through art. These themes first emerged in her painting series Mother Tree and Healing Flowers, and now continue through her ceramic sculpture and recent charcoal works.

In her charcoal drawings, Kim captures quiet, emotional landscapes that mirror the intimacy of her sculptural practice. Her ceramic works are hand-built using traditional pinch techniques, forming organic, meditative objects that echo the symbolic language of her earlier paintings. Both mediums emphasize softness, stillness, and subtle emotional resonance—inviting the viewer into a quiet space of reflection and connection.
