Kim Cardoso is a visual artist based in Oakland, California. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, she studied art and psychology at McDaniel College, with additional training at the Maryland Institute College of Art and School 33 Art Center. She began her career as a metalsmith in Baltimore before an unexpected calling led her west to become a midwife. After earning her MS in Nursing from the University of California, San Francisco, she founded a free women’s clinic and started a family. In 2013, Cardoso returned to art as a painter. Her work has been exhibited nationally, including at Garvey|Simon, New Art Center, Artlink, and the Crocker Art Museum.
