.Kim Farbota (b. 1988, Chicago) is a painter, sculptor, and mixed media artist. She earned her Ph.D. in neuroscience at the age of 24, went on to attend Yale Law School, and spent seven years practicing as an environmental attorney.  Her transition to painting was catalyzed by a realization that the methodical, scientific lens was insufficient to capture the profound interconnectivity that exists between the workings of the physical universe and the subjective human experience. Today Dr. Farbota is a full-time creative residing in Santa Monica, California where she is the 2024 Artist in Residence at Dorado 806 Projects.
