After many years working in creative, Kim shifted her focus to examining the complexities of perceptual biases. She has since earned a B.S. in Psychology and an M.S. in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience from the University of Texas at Dallas and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology with an emphasis in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Arkansas.
My visual work is a continuation on feelings of disconnectedness, a blur in the spaces of where we are in relation to where we belong. Peripherally, my literary work explores the bounds of philosophical aesthetics and cognitive neuroscience, specifically through the lens of creative identity and states of metacognition during the creative process.
