One Summer Day - Ui Hyang Kim

Ui Hyang Kim emigrated about 2 decades ago from South Korea. She has a deep desire to contribute beauty and enjoyment to others lives, investing her time and skill in weaving a magical mark not just on the landscape and canvas, but in many peoples lives and even the lives of animals, that cross her path.  She spends countless hours in the development of her many gardens and her paintings.  A long and tiring trip from Alberta back to Saskatchewan took her past an unexpected and beautifully developed yard just off the highway, that energized and encouraged her.  This was inspiration to create something similar, that might rejuvenate a weary traveller through the prairies like she had been.  She has now spent many years structuring her own properties along the highway by developing and extending vegetable and flower gardens that is a large inspiration for passers-by and her art practice as well.  Ordered rows of garlic, oak paths and ponds, her care of the animals and plants she is surrounded by and developing areas of interest and beauty, leave an indelible impression on the landscape and her paintings.  Every year she is busy working to build something of value and beauty to be shared by others.
