Artist Bio:

Kim Tateo is a multi-disciplinary artist who delves into the intricacies of interconnection between the self, nature, and the cosmos. She came into this world untethered. As an orphan adopted into a family with a sick parent, she experienced loss at a young age and understands more than anyone we are always connected and always held. Through life’s transience and volatility, she recognizes that we can still find solace and comfort in the unsaid, the intangible, and the spaces between.

Her work is a vivid tapestry of brilliant hues, shimmering glitter, and blacklight-sensitive pigments that reveal an underlying realm of a reminder of the unseen magic always surrounding us.

She is based in Troy, New York, and has participated in various exhibitions, shows, and public art projects in New York City and the Capital Region. Some of her notable projects include her contributions to the Smallbany Gallery, her mural artwork for “From Troy to Troy,” and her participation in the international virtual exhibition “dreamlands” hosted by the Arts to Hearts project.

In addition to her artistic pursuits, Tateo is the Executive Director and Farm Manager of Friends of Tivoli Lake Preserve and Farm. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Iowa.
