Kim Beury

Both materials and processes motivate Kim Beury’s work. She creates vignettes by combining a variety of materials including textiles, papers, stamps, silk-screen prints, drawings, and stitching.

These milieus often develop through perseverating travel, relationships, or any other trials and tribulations that life brings. Her work often depicts her direct surroundings with an emphasis on pattern.
