Kim Oakes is an artist who studied drawing at Victoria College in the 1980s and printmaking at RMIT in the 1990s.
She lives in Clematis and has been developing her printmaking practice at the Emerald Arts Society since 2000.
I’ve been exploring my paternal ancestry through a series of prints and drawings about Cornwall since my first visit in 1983. I felt an immediate connection to the landscape and inhabitants, which led to research and further visits in 2023 and 2025.
My prints and drawings are influenced by images and colours that speak of this special part of the world – the sea, land and people of my ancestral line.
