Kim White
Curator
Kim White is a multifaceted artist with a curious spirit and a deep love for colour, patterns and creative exploration. Born in Australia and now living in the Swiss Alps, her art is shaped by contrasting landscapes, a background in fashion design and a playful eye for detail.
Her paintings, rooted in abstract realism, often centre around women. Their inner worlds, quiet strength, and layered stories are brought to life through layered textures, expressive forms, and bold brushstrokes.
Playfully resourceful, she’s drawn to what others overlook – a little magpie who finds beauty in the Brocante. Whether reimagining a vintage chair or stitching life into forgotten fabric, her work celebrates the joy of creative salvage.
She works from her own Atelier and Gallery shop – (The Mad Cow )a colourful, evolving space and creative hub. Here, she shares her latest work, hosts hands-on workshops and welcomes others into a world of creativity and meaningful connection.
Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious. Whether painting or out exploring, Kim’s artistic talent is matched by her adventurous spirit and constant curiosity for new ideas and inspiration.
