Sae Mi Kim

Originally trained as a graphic designer and had a successful interior design business in London, South Korean-born Sae Mi Kim now creates art and runs art workshops to share her passion for art.

Living in London means you never run out of inspiration, but you always run out of time to do things. She missed drawing and painting while leading a busy life in London. Moving to Doha with her husband gave her space in her mind to start drawing and painting again.

Working in watercolor, ink, gouache, and pencils, Sae Mi draws her inspiration from the nature and architecture of different cities.

Sae Mi currently lives and works in a studio a stone's throw from a beautiful sandy beach in Doha. With views of the beach from her studio, it is her haven and sanctuary, where she spends much of her time creating and inspiring younger artists.
