Kim Fay has been a working abstract painter for three decades. Her abstractions are included in private collections from auto racing mogul Roger Penske to musical artist Kem. Fay made her curatorial mark through her company, Reel Art Detroit, which provided local art to Hollywood sets including productions from ABC, Warner Bros, Mitch Albom and more. This translated to curating Beaumont Arts for the Spirit Program. She offers her experience as a working artist via classes at CCS and the BBAC. She acts as a liaison to interior designers looking to acquire exceptional work for their patrons which includes personal commissions.

She began writing critically for the now defunct DDEAF magazine followed by Bedrock Detroit's TBD mag, the Jewish News and the Detroit Art Review. Through these publications it came to her attention that too many of Detroit’s artists and exhibition spaces were not finding coverage. This inspired the launch of Real Art Detroit, a digital art review newsletter. In 22 months, this publication is close to 400 subscribers averaging 500-600+ views per article. She has been picked up by Art Report Today who is not only promoting Real Art Detroit nationally, she has also been named their journalist for the Detroit art scene beat.
