Kim's multi-disciplinary practice encompasses animated films shot from miniature sets, cut-paper works, drawings and Jogakbo (Korean traditional quilting)-inspired plastic quilts. Her work is equally influenced by her early life in South Korea and her last fifteen years in New York City.

Her films have recently been screened at the Philadelphia Asian Film Festival, New Filmmakers New York, Blow-Up Arthouse Film Fest Chicago and the Glimmerglass Film Festival in Cooperstown, NY.
Her work was featured in the book "50 Contemporary Women Artists", edited by Heather Zises and John Gosslee, published by Schiffer Publishing in 2018.
She has done numerous residencies at Outpost Artist Resources, the Teton Art Lab, the Winter Workspace Program at Wave Hill, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, the Fountainhead Residency, Columbus State University, I-Park, the Abrons Arts Center, the Islip Museum, Sculpture Space, the Saltonstall Foundation and Yaddo.
