Kim Goings is a textile artist, focused mainly on art quilting, while maintaining additional practices in painting, drawing and mixed media collage.

Kim Goings is a textile artist, focused mainly on art quilting, while maintaining additional practices in painting, drawing and mixed media collage. Her work is influenced by nature, memory, folktales and improvisation. Kim has always been called to work with her hands, resourcing arts and crafts material from old clothing, found objects and scraps. While working in the costume field for film and theater and collecting remnant clothing and materials over time, she naturally gravitated toward the slow art of quilting in order to repurpose and up-cycle her textiles. Kim learned to refresh and infuse her fabrics with natural dyes and to add artful hand-sewing elements to tell stories in patchwork collage. Within these processes, Kim continues to discover endless inspiration, room for artistic growth, and a deep personal connection to textile crafts.
Kim received a BFA and MA from Savannah College of Art and Design. She has attended artist residencies through SCAD Alumni Atelier in Provence, France and Wildacres Retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina. Kim has previously taught hand-sewing and quilting techniques with Tatter Textile Library in Brooklyn and has exhibited work at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum in Woodstock, NY.
