I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Cathedral is featured in my latest online lesson about the value of working in a series, which is something I ask my students to do. When you define a singular problem based on your own interests, then set out to learn more about it via multiple viewpoints, you give yourself the gift of really understanding the issue. And that understanding then bleeds in to so much of your decision making for future works. Imagine working in a series for a year. How much can you learn about a dozen tubes of paint if you use only them for a year’s time? How good will you get at painting skies alla prima if you practice that for a year? Well, my students could tell you.  (Cathedral is part of my Talisman series where vessel shaped animals conta...

Protection, a new art journaling lesson

  protection Post US election I felt rudderless. When writing my morning pages that whole week I kept asking for direction. As a fixer I needed a purpose, something that would make a difference in the world. Something that would leverage my personal toolkit for the benefit of others. During the pandemic I (along with   Ardith Goodwin ) livestreamed art journaling lessons on social media. We called the project   #journalthroughit . I continued the daily, then weekly lessons, for about 18 months before shifting to less frequent   streamable content   posted directly to   my YouTube channel . Bringing back free art journaling was one of the initial ideas bubbling up. But I wanted more than a reboot of #journalthroughit. I wanted something that would empower others to lead themselves or a smaller community into the healing power of art. Sort of like a pyramid scheme, but substituting monetary earnings for karmic energy. Acts of Art was born from this idea. Esse...

Heirloom Rose

  Heirloom Rose view her on my website Heirloom Rose, original acrylic on panel, 16”x20”, $850 plus s&h. This painting will ship on or after until December 10, 2024. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . I realized the other day that it’s been nearly 10 years since I was the official artist of The Kentucky Derby. I had always thought of roses as my own personal symbol (because of my grandmother’s love of gardening) but this experience, creating the artwork for the 2015 Run for the Roses, cemented the rose as one of my “things.” How has it been 10 years? Heirloom Rose is one of a handful of new pieces that wallow in the whole horse and rose concept. While skies turn gray and color fades in Michigan, I’m already dreaming of spring and a glorious garden. These pieces will hopefully inspire larger works to keep me steeped in color during the winter months. You may view Heirloom Rose  on my website, inside a room setting a...

The World Within

  The World Within view her on my website The World Within, original acrylic on panel, 24”x30”, private collection (thank you so much). I welcome your questions. Just  reach out . We all have a world inside of us. No matter what's happening in our external worlds, that interior space is a container for the things we hold most precious. Each day presents a fresh start, a chance for us to level our lived lives up to what we carry inside. While most of the circumstances impacting us is not within our control, we absolutely can choose how we respond to them. And that inner world remains our treasure, something nobody can touch. The World Within is my newest painting. She glows with possibility and a bit of stardust.   You may view her  on my website , inside a room setting and up close. The link to purchase her is also there.  Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork. Love you, Kim

Night Mare

  Night Mare view her on my website Night Mare, original acrylic on panel, 23-1/2”x24”, $1200 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . I am a lucid dreamer. Many of the animals in my paintings come from my dreams. This lovely dark horse is an important character from them. She pulls me out of my bad dreams, quite literally - when things get too brutal, I simply think of her, reach out to touch her, and she pulls me through a veil into a new dreamscape. This particular painting is also a new iteration of a piece I did a decade back titled  Big Red . I think it’s quite interesting to see them side-by-side. It shows a dramatic, expressive shift in my work, one that I am continuing to refine with each new painting. What will my work look like in 10 years time? You may view Night Mare  on my website , inside a room setting and up close. The link to purchase her is also there.  Let me know  if you woul...
