Kim Tateo

Kim Tateo is an artist that explores interconnectedness to ourselves, our environment, and ultimately the universe. She came into this world untethered. As an orphan adopted into a family with a sick parent, she experienced loss at a young age and understands more than anyone we are always connected and always held. Impermanence always surrounds us, but we can connect through unspoken words, feelings, and the spaces in between.

She creates vibrant worlds using bold colors, glitter, and blacklight-responsive paint to reveal a hidden layer that is meant as a reminder of the unseen things always surrounding us.

Kim currently lives and works in Troy, NY. She has been part of several group shows, juried shows, solo exhibitions, and public art projects in NYC and the Capital Region. Highlighted projects include work for the Smallbany Gallery and “From Troy to Troy” and “dreamlands”, an International Virtual show hosted by the Arts to Hearts project.
