Kim is an amazing mother, textile artist and singer living in Numurkah, Victoria.
“My children and I moved up from Melbourne 10 years ago seeking a fresh start.
What I found about living in a small town is there are so many opportunities, and freedom to live in a way that I had always wanted to.
I come from a background of skilled, independent, craftsmen and women.
Creating things is pretty much as vital to me as breathing is.
I have raised my children to have as many creative experiences as possible in order that they are imaginative, resourceful, independent, problem solvers. As they have grown older, it has been a huge thrill to watch their creative spirits develop” Kim Carter.Â

One of my favourite things is this needle case that I made out of an old tapestry that my Great Aunty Mavis made. She was a highly skilled dressmaker and upholsterer, adept at every textile art/craft it seemed. The tapestry is a little worse for wear but I love looking at it and being reminded of the precision and quality craftsmanship in her work – it gives me something to aim for.
