Episode 14 - Kim-Lee Kho

Art Conversations with Lisa Jayne Irvine

Kim-Lee Kho is a Brampton-based multidisciplinary artist, and longtime designer, exploring personal experience as a gateway to broader human concerns. The bi-ethnic daughter of a scientist and an artist, Kim's process and interests combine both influences, in sometimes unexpected ways.

A member of The Red Head Gallery collective since 2018, she presented her second solo show of 2019 there, called Heartspace, a multimedia installation exploring the human heart as anatomical structure, emotional repository and vehicle for metaphor. Kim has participated nationally in exhibitions, residencies, and mentorships; and won awards including grants from the Ontario Arts Council.

A popular and experienced art educator, speaker, and juror, who, since the first COVID lockdown, has offered free bi-weekly Virtual Studio Parties on YouTube, she teaches: online; at the Haliburton School of Art + Design; and at the invitation of groups around southern Ontario.

On today’s episode Kim talks about her residency with Harold Klunder, her creative process, and how life-drawing and the human form inform her practice as an artist.
