"Mountain Snow To 84 Springs" Mixed Media By Kimie Joe

Created in honor of her mother’s 84th birthday, "From Mountain Snow to 84 Springs" is a deeply personal tribute to a life shaped by resilience, love, and wisdom. Tracing a journey from the snowy peaks of Hiroshima to the streets of Boston and the sunlit shores of Los Angeles, the painting weaves together memories of motherhood, immigration, and storytelling. Informed by the spirit of the Year of the Snake, Kimie Joe honors her mother’s legacy—her quiet strength, her fables, and the words that continue to guide Kimie as an artist and mother.
