Jean Rim

Jean Rim’s paintings are very physical. Inspired by the energetic nourishing potential of art, she incorporates crystals and flowers into her work. Inspired by Mandalas, Chakras and Altars, Rim
references nature directly, and at times symbolically by making fish scales-like carved marks on painting surfaces symbolizing the Little Mermaid’s loss for her transition to land, as an analogy to the immigrant experience.
