Biography
Having studied art as a youth and young adult, Kim's goal was to become an artist. Pursuing her degree in Art History at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Kim unexpectedly launched her career in accounting and database development while working at a part-time office job. Kim jokingly refers to this as her left-brained turn. While continuing to create artwork rather sporadically for another ten years, her creating came to an abrupt stop in 1987. Always regretting her departure from the art world, in 2004, with encouragement from her artist/son and artist friends, Kim came full circle; her art career was reborn.Although Kim had previous training in art, too much time had elapsed since she had created any artwork and she realized the need for re-training. Kim enrolled in art classes focusing on drawing and pastels at the local community college, the Art Student League of Denver and attended several pastel workshops focusing on plein air techniques.
Within a year, Kim expanded her skills to include working with oils. After studying several artists' palette knife works, Kim enrolled in a private workshop focusing on oil painting with a palette knife. Kim loves the texture and painterly strokes she can achieve with a palette knife. Says Kim, "the knife prevents me from getting bogged down by the insignificant details and it has become my primary oil painting tool".
Kim's main subject matter depicts her love of nature and the places she has been. By experimenting with a variety of different colors and textures, she adds her own interpretation and feelings towards what she is viewing. While nature is Kim's focus, she also enjoys painting buildings, pet and human portraits and wildlife.
Kim is a member of Plein Air Artists Colorado and the Pastel Society of Colorado.
Kyle is Kim's son. From a very young age, Kyle exhibited an interest and talent in art. Kyle's art training began in grade school and continued in the form of Graphic Arts training at Platt College in Aurora, Colorado. At Platt, his illustration skills were strenghened but Kyle soon discovered that he was not suited to the rigid demands of Graphic Design. He continues developing his fine art skills producing amazing works in graphite and colored pencil.
