Kim Gordon's work explores the connections humanity has with the earth, the earth's other creatures and the universe. She prefers to paint on wood as the grain, and other natural elements of the material, contribute their own story to the final piece. Specializing in the honored tradition of painting women, her gurus are used as vehicles to represent a wide variety of issues. A soft strength balanced with quiet reaction is found in the faces of her subjects. The worlds Gordon creates echo the present day, historical fact and mythological folklore
