Kim has been learning about bonsai since a child, when her Mum had fruit, oak and deciduous trees in Melbourne in the 1970's. Upon becoming a Japanese Teacher in 1992, Kim formally studied the language and culture including bonsai and ikebana in Tokyo, Japan, as part of her language degrees; Bachelor of Education (Japanese). Back in Queensland, Kim joined local bonsai clubs, attended international seminars, presented and assisted in demonstrations with respected bonsai masters.
From there, Kim started teaching and helping friends learn this relaxing and beautiful hobby which has said to be "Living Art" by many. Kim has combined her love of Japan, the Japanese language, teaching and bonsai to develop a service that educates, creates and empowers others to enjoy this ancient hobby.
