Kim Roberts Bio

Kim Roberts is a Colorado-based contemporary artist who brings a playful and unexpected perspective to her mixed media mountain landscapes.

Her work is an exploration of how the quality of our awareness affects what we see, and what we may choose not to see. The assumptions we make when the unexpected arises invite their own contemplation.

Trained as a mental health professional and meditation instructor, Kim spent the better part of 20 years living and working in South and Southeast Asia, leading retreats and teaching healing practices at high-end resorts and retreat centers—including a two-year stint managing the yoga program at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central Hong Kong and another two-year stint teaching yoga at several five-star resorts in the Kingdom of Bhutan.

She is the author of two books, Ashtanga Yoga for Beginner’s Mind and Toward a Secret Sky: Creating Your Own Modern Pilgrimage. She has written for MindBodyGreen and Elephant Journal, and is the editor of the Art of Awakening publication.

She has exhibited extensively throughout Colorado, and has been represented at numerous Colorado galleries, as well as corporate and private collections around the world.

Kim lives in Crestone with her artist husband, Steve. 

"To observe without judgment is to practice awareness.”
