Kim Gullion Stewart has been a visual artist for more than 35 years. She’s a member of the Métis Nation with her Father’s heritage connecting her to Red River and her mother’s reaching back to the Ukraine. Kim looks for metaphorical meaning, connecting Métis art forms to historical photos, vintage maps and other pop culture items, searching the depths of her indigenous identity for knowledge systems that may be hidden, lost, or adapted as a survival mechanism.

In 2021 and 2025, Kim was a finalist in the notable Canadian art award, the Salt Spring National Art Prize. She has pieces in the Canadian Indigenous Art Centre collection (They Make a Well Beaten Path), Newberry Library in Chicago (Making and Remaking Memory and Halfbreed Deputy), and The College of New Caledonia, Prince George, BC (We Exist in Space and Time, Raven Tells, and Lacy Rounds. Kim's work was featured on a Canadian postage stamp for indigenous Truth and Reconciliation in 2021 and was purchased by Coca Cola for display and auction during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Alongside diplomas in Fine Art, Graphic Design and Illustration and a Master’s Degree in Art Education, Kim has mentored in traditional art forms with Elders and peers - Jean Walker (Métis), Alberta TwentyStands (Cheyenne), Lynette LaFontaine (Métis), Lucy and Shirley Bock (Carrier), Mary Ghostkeeper (Métis), Gertie Regan (Métis), and Brenda Crabtree (Nlaka'pamux / Sto:lo)

Kim currently works and teaches from her studio in Savona, BC, Canada in Secwépemc/Skeetchestn unceeded territory. Her art can be found in collections across Canada and internationally in the US, Japan, and Great Britain.
