Kim Holleman was born in Tampa, Florida in 1973 and raised in suburban Palm Beach Gardens. She attended The Cooper Union for The Advancement of Science and Art in New York and the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, Holland.
Kims first solo show in NY: Law of the Land at Black and White Gallery was chosen Best In Show by R.C. Baker in The Village Voice and was reviewed again in further depth in The Village Voices art section by Alan Gilbert.
Holleman won the first Artists Wanted Competition that same year. The opening event for Hollemans second solo show in NY, Circa: 2012 at White Box Chelsea recorded a record breaking 1,000 people in attendance and was selected by Papermag as the Word of Mouth show to see that week along with After Nature at The New Museum for Contemporary Art.
Because of Kims unique blending of art, architecture and nature, she has gained recognition across disciplines. Her award-winning work, Trailer Park: A Mobile Public Park has shown at The Storefront for Art and Architecture on Lt. Petrosino Square, (2006) Foley Square-The Supreme Court The Living Room (2008) and The Cooper Union, Rites of Passage (2010).
Kim received her first grant in 2010 from the Puffin Foundation and since that time, her work as been featured in The NY Times, The Metro, and Next American City Magazine and L-Magazine to name a few. Kim opened two solo shows in 2011 at Work and SLC Gallery respectively, and her work is currently on view in several group shows in New York.
