About Kim
Vancouver based artist and designer Kim Rosin delights in all things around her: the natural world, sublime art and functional design. Fusing the influences throughout her life, she draws on inspiration from her meandering travels across the world, guided by her thirst for knowledge of diverse cultures, traditions and art. Trained in Fine Art and Art History in her native South Africa, Kim lived in London and Seattle before settling in Vancouver, Canada. Her first job, at Sotheby’s, surrounded by the most magnificent art and artifacts, was a formative experience. Subsequent careers at illustrious London interior and architecture firms developed her aesthetic sensibility.
