Kim Hill-Goddette was born in Northwest Ohio and raised in Southeast Michigan. She creates acrylic paintings of Abstract Expressionist style, inspired largely by her connection with nature. She completed independent art studies in high school and completed a B.A. in Art from Siena Heights University in 1992. She served in the U.S. Army 1986-1997. She retired from 25 years in the insurance industry in 2015 and began focusing on creating and managing a business in art.

Hill-Goddette's works include unique representations of land, sea, space, and cityscapes. She uses design elements, with particular sensitivity to color, movement, and texture; communing with her hands, brushes, palette knives, and intuitive guidance to create dynamic and engaging compositions. Hill-Goddette has exhibited and sold works at various venues including Adrian Center for Creative Development, Croswell Opera House Gallery, Affirmations' Pittmann-Puckett Gallery, Just-4-Us Gallery, Kaleidoscope Venue for the Arts, Hyder Gallery Center for Fine Art, and 1st Thursdays held at the Orlando Museum of Art.

She was named "Central Florida Artist of the Week" the third week of Sept. 2018, by Ed Herbst, President of the Associates of the Orlando Museum of Art. She has also been Special Recognition ("Leaves-Purple") and Special Merit Awards ("Antarctica" and "Sailing") for work exhibited with Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery.

She lived near Orlando, Florida the past six years before returning to Michigan in May 2021, where she lives with her wife, Lori. They share parenthood of four adult children and enjoy being grandparents.
