Born in China and raised in Taiwan, Connie King graduated from National Taiwan Normal University with a major in Fine Arts. She immigrated to Canada in 1973.

Connie works with a variety of media, including canvas, paper, wood panels, watercolour, and acrylic. She especially enjoys creating large-scale works with vibrant colours, using bold brushstrokes and concrete imagery to express abstract ideas and values.

Her 17 years of qigong practice have taught her the wisdom of working from within. This practice allows her to respond with sensitivity to the people, places, and situations she encounters, transforming these experiences into her art. It has also taught her to focus on positive energy and to value the process and discipline of art-making, rather than being overly concerned with the final product or its marketability.

Connie is deeply inspired by her experiences and the new insights she gains while travelling. She believes it is important to look beyond one’s own limited perspective and to remain open to other cultures and environments. As she continues to discover and convey the overwhelming power of the natural world, her images become ever larger, brighter, and more expressive.

金康麗出生於中國，成長於台灣，畢業於國立臺灣師範大學美術系，於 1973 年移民加拿大。她擅長使用多種媒材創作，包括畫布、紙張、木板、水彩與壓克力。她尤其喜愛創作大型作品，運用鮮明的色彩、大膽的筆觸、以及具象的圖像來表達抽象的理念與價值。

十七年的氣功練習，讓她學會從內在進行創作。這樣的修練使她能夠敏銳地回應所遇見的人、地方與情境，並將這些經驗轉化為藝術。氣功也教會她專注於正能量，重視藝術創作的過程與紀律，而不過度執著於作品的最終成果或市場價值。

金康麗深受旅行中的經驗與新領悟所啟發。她相信，人應該不斷超越自身有限的視野，開放心胸去接觸不同的文化與環境。隨著她持續探索並傳達自然世界中震撼人心的力量，她的作品也變得更加宏大、明亮且富有表現力。
