Join us at the Copper River Art Gallery opening to hear Kim McNett, the Net Loft’s Presenting Artist Speak!

Having a life-long fascination with the natural world, Kim received a Bachelor of Science from The Evergreen State College in her home state of Washington before moving to coastal Alaska in 2009. Her work as an environmental educator, sea kayak guide, and fisheries observer led to an intimate understanding of the local ecosystems and allowed Kim to develop her professional niche as an artist.

At the perennial heart of Kim’s work is her practice of keeping a nature journal to document her explorations, which have taken her across the vast and remote reaches of Alaska. Along with her partner Bjorn Olson, she has traversed thousands of roadless miles in both summer and winter by fatbike, packraft and sea kayak.
