Greetings, iM KIM

It’s truly wonderful to have you here, on this artistic journey of mine.

My life's canvas has been painted with diverse experiences, from the sun-soaked sheep farm of Western Australia to the enchanting landscapes of Switzerland that I now call home. Let me share with you the colourful chapters that have woven together to shape the artist, up-cycle enthusiast, and adventurer that I've become.

Roots of Creativity:

My artistic adventure started as a child, crafting and drawing alongside my beloved grandparents. Those early moments ignited a passion that would stay with me forever.

Journey through Design:

The path of creativity led me to the world of fashion design. Through fabrics and threads, I learned to translate my artistic visions into tangible forms. This foundation in design instilled in me a deep appreciation for the harmony of aesthetics and function.

Swiss Love Affair:

My adventures took me backpacking across Europe, where I encountered cultures and landscapes that further enriched my artistic perspective. Amidst this journey, I stumbled upon Switzerland—a land that captivated my heart. Its breathtaking mountains, tranquil lakes, enchanting villages and rich heritage.The allure of Switzerland was undeniable, and it wasn't long before I decided to make it my permanent home.

Beden:

On one of my travels I stumbled across beads and jewellery making and before long I started crafting intricate beadwork, hunched over my kitchen table. That passion ignited a spark, leading me to venture into the world of entrepreneurship with my very own bead shop—a cozy haven for fellow crafting enthusiasts. 

The Mad Cow:

At the heart of my creative journey is the birth of the Mad Cow Shop/Atelier. I discovered the world of chalk paint and furniture up-cycling. Suddenly, old dressers and chairs became my canvas, I was breathing new life into worn-out furniture, infusing them with character and vibrancy.An art form that resonated deeply with my upbringing on the farm, where resourcefulness was second nature.

I've found joy in teaching workshops that nurture creativity in others.Through these workshops, I'm not only passing on techniques but also encouraging a sense of exploration and self-expression.

Lets Create:

Embracing various artistic mediums has been a delightful adventure for me, and my ever-growing collection of art supplies.My brushes and I have engaged in countless colourful escapades.I’ve discovered that art is my adventure, and the world is my canvas. So here's to embracing the joyful messiness of creation and join me as we celebrate the beauty of colours, the magic of patterns and boundless imagination.
