生於中國，畢業於國立臺灣師範大學藝術系，1973年移民加拿大，帆布、紙張、木板、水彩、壓克力都是金康麗常用的媒材，她喜歡用很大的畫面，及鮮豔的色彩，來表現她所發現自然界的內在價值。她從17年的氣功練習中，學習到”只求用功，不求成功”的道理，也認真的實行在藝術人生中。

Born in Mainland China and raised in Taiwan, Connie King graduated from Taiwan National Normal University, majoring in Fine Arts. She immigrated to Canada in 1973. Her 17 years of Qui Gong practice have taught her the wisdom of working from within. This allows her to respond with sensitivity to the people, places and situations she meets, transforming them into her art. It has also taught her to focus on positive energy, experiencing the process and discipline of her art making without being overly concerned about the end product or its salability. Connie loves to draw with a bold brush, using concrete images to express abstract values. She is energized by experiences she has and new insights gained while traveling, and feels it is important to be constantly looking beyond her own narrow sphere to other cultures and environments. Her images become ever larger and brighter as she discovers and conveys the overwhelming power to be found in the natural world.
