Kim Muller-Thym, an accomplished oil painter, studied art at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, and the Instituto de Allende in San Miguel, Mexico, and with the Plein Air Painters of America.  Her work has been exhibited in numerous one person and juried shows; she is represented in galleries from Connecticut to Virginia.

As a young person raised on a farm in Maryland, Muller-Thym spent her free time roaming the woods and fields and sailing the Chesapeake Bay. Living now in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, she paints New England’s incredibly beautiful and ever changing coast. 

Since becoming affiliated with neighboring Old Lyme’s renowned center for early American impressionists, Muller-Thym has increased her focus on representational painting. She often paints small plein air studies, which she uses for inspiring works up to five feet. Her works are rich with feeling and broad strokes of color.

Kim Muller-Thym is an artist with varied interests and proficiency in several media.  She has created and taught art her entire life: sculpture, ceramics, painting and graphic design. She has degrees in German literature and psychology; and her professional experience includes thirty years of journalism and publication design. She is a member of the Lyme Art Association and the Salmagundi Club in Manhattan.

Kim received the John Stobart Award presented at The Mystic Seaport International Art Show in 2006 and the Harriet Lumis Award at the The Academic Artists Association National Exhibition of Contemporary Realism in 2007 and Salmagudi Art Club in 2009.
