The north star that guides my creative practice is my inner child, the part of me that approaches the world with curiosity and wonder. I’m drawn to the small moments that remind us of our shared connection to each other, to nature, and to the many versions of ourselves that live within us. Working primarily in drawing, painting, and ceramics, I explore the magic that surrounds us in quiet ways that only come alive when we are able to slow down and tune in.
My process is intuitive and open-ended, shaped by surrender and play, tuning into what beckons my attention. I move between mediums and memories, letting them guide the work rather than controlling it. Through my work, I highlight the beauty that exists in the smallest moments that serve as reminders of the threads that connect us to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.

Clare Kim is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Working across different mediums—primarily drawing, painting, and ceramics—she explores the magic in the everyday and the threads that connect us to each other and to the natural world. Her work reflects on how slowing down and tuning into the present moment can open space for wonder and connection across time—past, present, and future. Rooted in the earthly and the emotional, Clare’s practice is guided by a desire to reconnect with and nurture her inner child, staying open and curious to the small, magical details that surround us. Through an intuitive, layered process, she brings together materials and memories to explore how we remain intertwined with one another, with the past, and with the living world around us.
Her work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including The Other Art Fair (Brooklyn, NY), Pushup Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Visionary Art Collective/Warnes Contemporary (Brooklyn, NY), Paradigm Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), Gallery 263 (Cambridge, MA), Studio 9D (New York, NY), HBX (New York, NY), Land to Sea (Brooklyn, NY), and Chinatown Soup (New York, NY). She has had two solo exhibitions at Chinatown Soup, where she was also a resident artist.
