Paintings With Soul

check her out Discerning, 23-1/2x24, acrylic and pure imagination on panel, sold (thank you so much and a very warm welcome to my new collector). I dreamed of Wolf a few weeks back, so invited her to the easel in a similar fashion to Bear - emerging from the darkness, encased in a shallow depth of field, with a direct gaze. This format brings the subject right into the viewer’s space, something that is important to me. It helps me to understand and better respond to the paintings when I know who they are meant for. These recent paintings have been for Little Kim, who imagined she was friends with all the animals. She wove some pretty solid stories about deep connections to animal spirits, and it’s those narratives I dip into in the present day from the easel. They are still here inside me, fueling each painting. As always, I am so grateful for your interest in my work. Thank you so much for your support. Big Judgement-Free Love, Kim. PS Payment plans on request for purchases greater th...

check her out, bring her home Room to Grow (Sun Bear), 18x24, acrylic on cradeled panel (no need to frame, painting will arrive wired and ready to hang), $1900, available exclusively through my website. S&H inside the contiguous US is on me. Hawaiian, Alaskan and Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Originally Sun Bear was stacked with Butterfly and Moth. I loved the idea, but the execution felt predictable. I value unexpected elements in art, and wasn’t seeing any of them in her early beginnings but for one little exciting butterfly passage, which frankly wasn’t enough to support the entirety of the surface. So she sat in the studio and watched me paint a number of Bears, complete with Masks of Butterflies and Florals, while waiting for the concept to evolve inspiration to hit. And a couple days ago she asked for her own mask, one threaded with roses. “Yellow, please,” she said, “to match my collar.” Meanwhile, Sun Bear introduced me to Moon Bear. I have a Spirit Be...

Questions may always come   to me . make her yours   admire her beauty As a kid I was spellbound by the stories behind the constellations. I felt more connected to them in an indescribably odd way than some of the branches on my family tree. Now it makes so much sense, but back then I didn’t know we were all made of stardust.

Available to ship mid to late November 2025. Questions? just  reach out . Dreams can be such interesting things.  A couple nights ago I dreamed of a silver wolf, floating underneath the undisturbed surface of a vertical pond. I never saw her clearly - just sensed her presence. She moved with gentle intention and a clear purpose. Things were thrashing about and drowning deep in this strange water, but she was nudging them through the surface where they would gasp for air and wrest themselves out. She showed me how to hold the heads up of those who were too weary, and we worked together on extricating as many as po...

  The Elders   24"x36", acrylic on cradled panel (no need to frame), $2000 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. Clicking on the image above  or here  teleports you to my website to view the painting in a room setting, zoom in up close to the image, and perhaps even make her all yours. Available to ship mid October 2025. Questions? just  reach out . For whatever reason, I have been thinking of mangrove and banyon trees - how their roots are like limbs, and as such, what sort of appendage driven actions might these trees then be able to perform? Tiptoed whispery treks along the growth's edge. Multi-jointed shadow puppets against a glowing sky. Full on bear hugs for a Fox turned Wolf (she started out as Fox but landed as Wolf, so I'm thinking she's packed with the magic of each). Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork, Love you, Kim.

  Dawn and Dusk view them on my website   Pictured above, Dawn and Dusk, acrylic on flat panel, 24”x48”, private collection. This lovely sold yesterday through my collectors club to a brand new collector.

This is a free, no obligation service I offer busy fans who want to acquire a painting. You can   become a Dibber here . Questions? Just  reach out . I pull my painting subjects from my own life -  what I dream about and experience as I move through the world. The animals that regularly show up on my easel - Bear, Fox, Wolf, Rabbit, Horse - have taken on symbolic meaning, at least to me, over time.  But Deer, she’s not made it to the easel often enough for me to have an idea as to what she means. I try not to think about this or analyze too much as I’m making the work, but reserve these sorts of interpretations for o...

  Transience view her on my website Transience, original acrylic on flat panel, 24”x24”, $1200 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Pema Chodrom says, “I am the sky, the rest is just weather.”  Part maelstrom, part light after the storm, Transience is a painting imbued with hope. The sun, anchored inside the rabbit while simultaneously glowing from behind, rests at the heart of our universe.  Transience showed up the week of Hurricane Helene. Little did I know when I mapped out the marketing for this painting that Milton was close behind. Please, all in the path of these incomprehensible storms, be safe.   You are invited to view Transience  on my website , inside a room setting and up close, like nose to the canvas up close.

    Purple Mountain Majesty, 48"x60", acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, available July 2024 through   Mirada Fine Art   in Denver, Colorado. Inquiries may always come   to me .   Since March I have painted nearly 48 square yards of canvas, used 2 gallons of gesso, a gallon of isolation coat medium, 1-1/2 gallons of acrylic gel medium, and countless tubes of paint. All for good reason - I am creating a fresh body of work for new gallery representation! I am delighted to announce I am joining forces with Mirada Fine Art, a contemporary and distinctive gallery in Denver, Colorado. I choose my representation carefully - gallery spaces are an extension of the experience I would provide collectors were they to visit my studio in person. The gallery and I become a team in bringing ideas to life, curating opportunities to view said art, and facilitating acquisitions. Mirada Fine Art will be an utterly fantastic partner and I am thrilled to be one of...
