Buffy Kimm is a mixed media artist and printmaker. She studied Three Dimensional Art at University, and worked as a designer in both the theatre and television. After leaving the BBC, she taught MA Production Design at Kingston University. She retired from teaching in 2014 and since then has concentrated on her art practice.

Her recent work is experimental and mainly abstract, being split between works using found materials and paper as the main medium, and etching. She is experimenting with mixing the printing process with her mixed media works.

Kim has exhibited both in the UK and abroad. Exhibitions include Ten Hope at the Oxo Gallery 2022, Squares and Triangles at the Fitzrovia Gallery 2022, A Sense of Place at the Willesden Gallery 2022, The Spaces In Between at the BBK Gallery in Oldenburg 2019, White Noise at the Crypt 2019.

She tries to find what others leave unnoticed, and uses her photography as a springboard to create works that reflect the magic that is there to be seen but is often forgotten or discarded.

She is currently working with a variety of found materials, rusted metal, old lorry tyres, recycled timber, copper, paper and anything that she can find discarded by others. 

Her work is experimental and often playful. 

Kimm aims to inspire the viewer to look more carefully at their surroundings to see what is actually there but what is not necessarily obvious.

In her practice she takes inspiration from the obscure and the unusual, using both nature and architecture as her medium through photography. She is fascinated by light and shadow and likes to experiment with different media to explore innovative solutions to her work.
