Kim Roberts Art

Kim Roberts is a Colorado-based contemporary artist. Trained as a mental health professional and meditation instructor, she has taught creative wellness programs since 1995. She earned an MA in Contemplative Psychology from Naropa University and received Pattabhi Jois’ authorization to teach Ashtanga Yoga while living in South India. She is the author of two books, Ashtanga Yoga for Beginner’s Mind and Toward a Secret Sky: Creating Your Own Modern Pilgrimage. Kim spent the better part of 20 years living and working in Southeast Asia, leading retreats — including a two-year stint managing the yoga program at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central Hong Kong and another two-year stint teaching yoga at several five-star resorts in the Kingdom of Bhutan. She is still a dedicated daily meditator, but when painting proved to be her source of wellness, she shifted her focus to making art. Her work is represented in collections around the world, including Capitol One Lounge, Denver International Airport, Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe, Juanita Nolasco Residences, Denver and Vajra Vidya Retreat Center, Crestone Kim divides her time between Crestone and Denver.
