"Sadie Belle," a commissioned portrait of a mixed breed dog, image roughly 5" x 6" on an 8" x 10" paper, done in acrylics, private collection (THANK YOU!). Inquiries may come to me.
Sadie found her family via the SPCA - they thought they wanted a lab mix, but she didn't have to work hard at all to get them to change their minds and open their hearts to a border collie-terrier mix.
This portrait is another gift (do you detect a trend here?). Yes I accept commissions, can work something up in secret, or deliver a gift certificate all on the sly. Email mefor the deets.
Thanks for supporting me and my dream of being a working artist,
Kim

Take a Workshop
with Me
Yup, that's right - come learn alongside me. I'm going to be sitting front and center in Elizabeth St Hilaire Nelson's "Paper Paintings" collage workshop at ArtCenter Traverse City this coming August.
You've seen her work everywhere - she's won awards left and right and upside down (I stopped counting the number of times I've seen her in The Artists Magazine). And I've heard rumors that she is a "riot."
Elizabeth builds her art from hand painted papers collaged overtop a colorful underpainting on wood. This is a process she has evolved over the years into a distinctive method, a method that can be taken in a number of different directions with our own personal style and media.
It's a guaranteed good time - what's not to love about painting and collaging and built in entertainment?
More info is here.
See you there!!

OMG I am a riot, I promise. I'll make you laugh, I just might make you cry, but in the end you will enjoy yourself. (maybe due to Kim consoling you) We will hand paint our own collage papers, and then apply them over an acrylic underpainting to create a figurative collage or "Paper Painting"
ReplyDeleteIf you are really adventurous (and Kim has already told me that she most definitely is NOT) You can join me for a run or a bike at the crack of dawn before class. I heard you can NOT swim in lake Michigan or you will freeze to death, so I've scratched off swimming. Unless we find a pool.....
see, she is already living up to her reputation!!
