Kim Fifield is a Mount Maunganui-based visual artist working at the intersection of science, sustainability, and art. With a practice grounded in eco-philosophy and new materialism, Kim explores how art can inspire more conscious ways of living. Her innovative work includes weaving root systems, developing algae-based biopolymers, and creating décollage artworks from repurposed print material. Each piece embodying a commitment to both creativity and environmental care.
Recently completing her Master of Fine Arts at Whitecliffe College of Art and Design, Kim has exhibited both locally and internationally, and was a finalist in the 2023 National Contemporary Art Awards and 2022 Miles Art Awards.
