You are invited..... Wild Things opens July 27th at Mirada Fine Art (Denver, CO)

 


Opening Reception: 

Saturday, July 27th, 4-6pm


Exhibition: July 27th - August 25th

 

We're really excited about Mirada's newest exhibition: 

WILD THINGS! 


In 2009, Mirada Fine Art opened its doors with an artist that immediately grabbed the attention of all the new gallery’s patrons: Jill Shwaiko. Her charming bronze critters (and oil paintings) brought smiles and laughter to all who encountered them. Her artwork is a whimsical contemporary take on ancient petroglyphs. Each figure tells a story. 15 years after joining Mirada, Jill continues to be a favorite for all those who walk through our doors. This will be Jill's first appearance in the gallery in the last five years.


For this exhibition, Jill is being paired with Mirada’s newest artist, Kimberly Santini. Kimberly is a master of capturing the allure and spirit of wildlife in an expressive and imaginative way. Her enticing wildlife paintings are unlike anything we've ever experienced and we're truly excited to present them to our patrons. Her work has been collected across the United States and Kimberly was even the official artist for the 2015 Kentucky Derby.


Be sure to experience Mirada’s ‘WILD THINGS’ exhibition...it should prove to be an unforgettable collaboration!



The gallery for distinctive contemporary art.

The above press release came from Mirada Fine Art - the following is from me. 


THANK YOU - over the last 24 years your support, purchases, encouragement, engagement and love has gotten me to this moment. Art isn’t made in a vacuum, it’s a reflection of the world in which it exists. And you have made my world kinder, brighter, funnier, full of love and beauty and hope and possibility. I am so proud of my new paintings in this show and how they reflect this - our journey into a deeper connection with our individual lives and communities. 


My Better Half and I will be at Mirada July 27th to welcome fans of Jill’s work and my own. Come enjoy some great art.


Love you, Kim

Picture Book "A Dog Named Blue" - now available!!

The cover of "A Dog Named Blue," now available from Blurb publishers. When I first painted Amelia I never imagined that she would be re-christened "Blue" and inspire a book. In her defense, Amelia had a number of other partners in crime - animals who's portraits seemed to fall into a specific color category and prompt color-centric names. In typical ADD fashion, my brain started spinning 100mph. What if I turned those muses' paintings into a picture book for animal loving kids? I shared my idea with three friends in the industry, and they eagerly offered their expertise. I am truly indebted to them. Illustrator and author Matt Faulkner and children's book author and literacy expert Kristen Remenar edited an early version of the draft. They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color...

Tabby Kit

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me .  Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po...

Dear Copyright Thieves

Dear Copyright Thieves,   Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all.   Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site?   And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting.   And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue  their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own...
