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 would like a payment plan (30% no

Rose Hips

Rose Hips view her on my website Rose Hips, original acrylic on panel, 18”x24”, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just reach out . I’ve had this painting idea for a long time - that of a rose tattooed horse. I’ve tried to paint her a couple times with little success. You see, my paintings show up as a glittery thread, not as fully formed ideas. So I have to sort of unearth and then breathe life into them. Some require multiple excursions. It’s a strange thing to try and explain. I truly don’t know how any of my paintings will land - I simply show up and honor that initial scrap of glittery thread as best I can. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. So this time when this mare began to take shape, I realized that while interpreting this thread, I made several wrong assumptions. One, that the roses were literally on the horse’s skin, akin to a tattoo. And two, that the horse had literal skin. She is a vessel with transparent

Try Me

Try Me view her on my website Try Me, original acrylic on panel, 24”x30”, $1300 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just reach out . Monday all my buttons had been pushed, repeatedly, for far too long. So I took it to the easel, which is one of my best therapies. The She Wolf slowly stepped from the autumnal woods, her gaze unflinching, her intentions clear. There’s something very significant at stake (hmm…. I wonder what that might be?). This painting reminds me of a saying we had when my kids were younger: Mean Mom never showed up uninvited. You may view Try Me on my website , inside a room setting and up close, like nose to nose up close, if you dare. The link to purchase her is also there.

Intravenous

Intravenous view her on my website Intravenous, original acrylic on a handmade Bara Woodshaping cradled wood panel, sides painted (no pressing need to frame), 24”x30”x1-1/2”, $2000 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just reach out . I was born with a seemingly absurd passion for animals, particularly horses. My parents had no interest in pets nor animals in general, so it wasn’t a learned behavior. Keep in mind, too, I grew up in a pre-internet world in a small town with very limited access to television, film and books (until I was of school age). I was left to my own imagination, and it was - has always been - filled with horses of all kinds and colors. I am wired in this beautiful, fantastical way, to carry a deep love for horses. Over the years this love has grown to encompass the entirety of our natural world. My art has evolved to reflect this - animals as vessels holding landscape elements close to their core. When th

The Quick Brown Fox

The Quick Brown Fox view her on my website The Quick Brown Fox, original acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, 24”x36”x1-1/2”, image painted around the sides (so no pressing need to frame), $2000 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. Grab the button above or reach out to ask for a payment plan (details below). This painting was one of the central pieces included in my solo show last year, Fox, at The Manoogian Gallery inside Liggett University Schools. I was surprised this morning to see that, oddly enough, she had never been shared via my newsletter - that was a huge oversight, now corrected. This lovely has found herself back on the market through no fault of her own, and I know she is going to find the very best home! The Quick Brown Fox holds all of the autumnal woods in her core. She’ll entice you to go on a walk through the dappled light and savor the crunch of leaves under foot. She’ll dance between the trees to birdsong as the fall color ripens. Who wouldn’t want this sor
