USC MFA candidate Kim Sweet is featured on Art and Cake. Arts writer Grant Vetter stated:

While the debut of Kim Sweet’s paintings at the USC Roski School of Art and Design marks the first time that the artist is having a solo exhibition in Los Angeles, she has been making challenging work about the human condition and our collective relationship to the landscape for many years.
