Blythe King

Blythe King’s work is exceptional for its moving revelations in image transfer, collage, and the ancient art of gold leafing. She gives expression to her ongoing deconstruction of images of women through the lens of Zen Buddhist practice. Her work has exhibited nationwide. She works as an educator, collaborator, program director, and practicing artist. In 2021, Blythe launched Open Space Education in response to the growing need for access to nature, art, and alternative modes of learning for young people in Richmond. Blythe’s academic background combines an MA in Buddhism and Art from the University of Colorado, with undergraduate studies in Japanese religion and art at the University of Richmond. She currently serves as President on the board of Richmond Zen.
