Kim Oka is a Sunshine Coast artist, as well as a mother, a doula, and a childbirth educator. Her art work includes mixed-media pieces influenced by botany, anatomy, and other natural sciences; her imagery can be contemporary or drawn from the past. She uses encaustic medium, which is a mix of beeswax and damar resin, to build layers that appeal to many senses – vision, touch, and smell. Her hand-built books are made with high quality mixed-media paper to create a beautiful working space for journaling, sketching, note taking, photo albums, or guest books. She also makes cards and other visual art.
