Kim was recently selected as the recipient of the 2010 Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Award – South Australia's top award for an arts graduate. The award was presented at the annual Helpmann Academy Maestros and Apprentices event on May 21.

Richard Fennell, Chief Financial Officer of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank says that, "The judging for this year's award was, as always, extremely difficult; the standard of finalists was exceptional. Kim's distinctive talent as an artist is already being recognised by astute art lovers and collectors, and we are very proud to support and encourage her future success."

Kim has also just completed her first artist in residency at Wilderness School in Adelaide. As a Wilderness old scholar, Kim was excited to be able to share her love of drawing with the students and encourage them to consider a career in art.
