Painting Style

She never uses a model when painting. Instead, she creates her subjects' features and emotions purely from her mind. [7] Likewise, her landscapes are never painted with a specific place in mind or even a photograph of a place. She paints from her imagination with her emotions at the time determining the colors of the forest and river. [8]

After twenty years of being an artist, Lim Khim Katy continues to approach each new day of painting with eagerness and exhilaration. [6] She strives to improve and evolve as a painter with her works becoming more emotional and having societal relevance. [9]
