Kim Soles has established creative programming for children for over twenty years. Starting out in Brooklyn, New York as a working photographer, artist, and designer, Kim began initiating art programs for young children at community centers in 1999. All classes inspired cultivating imagination and keeping curiosity alive. After a move to Philadelphia in 2001, Kim progressively developed creative opportunities for children to experience art in an outdoor classroom, with the focus ­—develop a balance between nature and technology. In 2010, Kim initiated Indigo Nature Arts, a nature-based summer day camp program that incorporates the arts and encourages children to live mindfully. Over the past 12 years, Kim has spent the summer months with hundreds of kids from over forty-five schools. She offers them a time and place to be themselves, create friendships, and experience hands-on nature and art exploration. Along with the yearly summer camp, Kim established art programs and served homeschoolers offering drawing, book illustration, painting, and photography classes. Kim has instructed students at The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, The Awbury Arboretum Francis Cope House, and The Waldorf School of Philadelphia.
