Kim Weston is a photographer with a graphic design and painters
background living in Connecticut.
She received her BFA from Cooper Union and MFA from ICP-Bard college in Advanced Photographic Practice. Photography has allowed Kim Weston to freelance in the commercial industry and be a visual artist. She questions how can we see the world when illusions surround us. Art promotes presence and an opportunity to see what’s true in our spirit and the discrepancy in our everyday. The gestures seen in her images is the product of chance and intention.
