Kim Pacetti creates multi-dimensional work that blurs the line between functional object and art. Drawing on classic iconography, she looks to historical artifacts, popular culture, and science for inspiration. Recurring motifs surface throughout her work, evolving into objects that feel both nostalgic and familiar.
Trained in Industrial Design, Kim moves fluidly between classic and contemporary, working across multiple mediums including ceramics, metalsmithing, painting, and sculpture.
Kimberly Pacetti earned her BFA in Industrial Design from Parsons School of Design and pursued graduate studies in Architecture and Design Criticism at The New School in New York City. Her focus on traditional techniques, paired with digital design tools, allows her to create work that embraces modern perspectives while honoring traditional iconography.
