My love affair with art began as a child, the very first time I walked into The Art Institute of Chicago. She currently teaches pastel painting and SoulCollage® classes at The Woodlands Art League Gallery in The Woodlands, TX. Kim’s artwork varies from representational to abstract using a variety of mediums, though her passion is for portraiture. Her work has been part of numerous projects including Habitat for Humanity, The Woodlands High School Art Trust, The Woodlands High School Orchestra Booster Club, and The Woodlands Art League. From teaching art at Sacred Heart Catholic School in Conroe, developing home school art programs, serving as Artopoly Co-Chair for The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, and two years as President of The Woodlands Art League, she finds that art and community naturally go hand in hand. Since living in The Woodlands, TX with her husband and two children for the past 13 years, she has spent more than half her time involved in local art. Beck III, Robert Liberace, Rose Frantzen, just to name a few–is her joy. Traveling and taking workshops with artists she admires–Everett Raymond Kinstler, Clayton J. Kim AbbatiAward-winning artist Kim Abbati is originally from Chicago, IL, a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
