Portrait

Born in Vancouver, Kristin Lim has worked in the art world for over 17 years across three countries. She is passionate about contemporary art and telling people about it. She can often be found exploring the city by bicycle, seeking out an obscure gallery, pop-up show, or new exhibition. One day, she plans to officially launch her art tours of Vancouver and abroad, which combine her love of food, beer, hiking and cycling, and of course, art.
