She earned a B.A. degree from the University of California, Riverside, and a M.F.A. degree from California Institute of the Arts. Kim lives in Los Angeles and is on the faculty at Otis College of Art and Design. Kim often employs techniques of cutting and layering in order to introduce areas of absence or disruption in what we tend to take for granted—the interpretation of photographic images."
