Who is Kimvalrie (金包銀)?
Kimvalrie Neal (or Kim Neal) is a Taiwanese American self-taught artist and poet, who decided to pack up her legal practice in late 2021 for a healthier lifestyle and turned to art creation in early 2022.
Kim is known for her talented use of colors, her bold imagination, and being highly skilled at portraying facial expressions that both evoke emotions and invoke audiences to meditate on meaningful issues in life. Kim’s artworks and poems internalize many Western and Asian cultural and philosophical concepts and explore shared human nature. Although Kim’s works often inform philosophical transcendence, occasionally, some of them also demonstrate her whimsical humor—another approach to life.
Kim and her husband, Dan Neal (who is from Oregon, U.S.A.), met in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1998. They moved to New York State in 2008. Currently, they reside by a lake in Dutchess County, New York. The following is her C.V.
