“States of presence - arrive”

Kim Tateo is a painter whose work explores interconnectedness, impermanence, and the unseen. Her dreamlike landscapes are rich with color, marks, and layers, inviting viewers to look closer and discover hidden layers of meaning and wonder. Her deep relationship with nature shapes her practice, informed by her work as a shepherd and her studies of plant spirit medicine and herbalism at the Gaia School of Healing.

She has participated in various exhibitions, art fairs, shows, and public art projects in New York City, Los Angeles, and the Capital Region. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Iowa and an MFA in Studio Art from the University at Albany, SUNY.

Tateo is also the Executive Director and Farm Manager for Friends of Tivoli Lake Preserve and Farm.
