Both materials and processes motivate Kim Beury's work. She creates vignettes by combining a variety of materials including textiles, papers, stamps, silk-screen prints, drawings, and stitching.

The work Beury produces is a catalogue of her memories. These milieus often develop through perseverating travel, relationships, or any other trials and tribulations that life brings. Her work often depicts her direct surroundings with an emphasis on pattern.

The style of her work echoes its content. Repetition and a sense of detail recreate the feelings portrayed. Often times repetition, such as daily rituals and habits, can give sense of order and relief to chaos. Other times, the result causes worry, like the constant nagging of things left undone. The pattern that Beury fuse into her work examines how repetition can reinforce both the calming and unnerving aspects of the subject matter.

An underlying theme throughout her work has been home. It is depicted through relationships of family members, representative of the structures that compose a home, or the larger scale of home such as a hometown.
