Kim Wagner Nolan
Kim Wagner Nolan is a multidisciplinary artist and Museum Exhibition Designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design. While attending RISD she began working as an Exhibit Developer for the Providence Children's Museum. It was there that she was able to combine her passion for both art and science and discovered a love for creating engaging interactive exhibits.
Since then, she has had a successful career designing exhibits for many notable institutions such as the Long Island Children's Museum, Macy's, New York Hall of Science, African American Museum, and the Wildlife Conservation Society designing exhibits for the Bronx Zoo, Queens Zoo, New York Aquarium, Central Park Zoo, and Prospect Park Zoo. Her role as Project Manager for an international design and engineering firm led her to travel all over the world, which she's chronicled in Museum Trekker, a blog about museums she's visited around the globe.
Her broad expanse of work ranging from illustration, painting, graphic design, photography, and exhibition design, has been published in several books and magazines and displayed in museums, galleries, libraries, and both private and corporate collections all over the world.
Kim grew up in New York and has also lived and worked in Rhode Island, Hawaii, and New Zealand. She currently lives in Florida with her husband and foster children.
