Artwork Description

Blue Heron is a large-scale mixed media work inspired by the quiet intensity of a heron capturing its prey. Expansive in scale, the composition allows movement and gesture to unfold across the surface, immersing the viewer in the moment a blue heron feeds on a crab—not as a literal scene, but as an energetic exchange between instinct, patience, and survival. Deep blues, blacks, and mineral tones form a shifting environment where land, water, and motion merge.

Created through an intuitive process, the artist allowed material and rhythm to guide the work, echoing the heron’s calm precision before action. Spiritually, the painting reflects themes of presence and timing. The crab symbolizes grounding and resistance, while the heron embodies clarity and awareness. Together, they form a meditation on balance and nourishment—where stillness gives way to decisive movement, and transformation occurs through quiet focus.

Artist Biography

After many years of independently evolving his craft, Kim is ready to share his art with the world. These bold, organic, creations evoke the beauty, power and inspiration of nature – raw and ready for discovery. Built up by hand and with no paintbrushes or knives, he layers colours on wet canvas and manipulates paint by “washing” it off. Occasionally, sand (and in his most recent works, coffee grounds) are incorporated.
G Kim Hinkson as President and founder of Ocean West Financial Group, GK Hinkson’s life changed course on a business flight home.  G Kim Hinkson re-watched a film he’d seen before, the 2000 biopic Pollock, about the modern American painter. Hinkson said, “By the time I’d gotten halfway through that movie, I was so pumped, all I could think about was how I was going to get my assistant to find me a studio.”

After many years of independently evolving his craft, Kim is ready to share his art with the world. These bold, organic, creations evoke the beauty, power and inspiration of nature – raw and ready for discovery.

Built up by hand and with no paintbrushes or knives, he layers colours on wet canvas and manipulates paint by “washing” it off. Occasionally, sand (and in his most recent works, coffee grounds) are incorporated.

The result is soothing but with an underlying tension not unlike a naturalized version of the marble paper flyleaf of an antique book.

2018 has seen his work exhibited in Vienna, Montreux and later in the year it will be at Art Basel in Switzerland. Hinkson is also launching an offshoot line of men’s dress socks and a sports clothing line incorporating his designs.

“Painting is therapeutic, I love that vortex — the singular focus on the artistic process. When I’m painting everything else just disappears.”
