I grew up making images - drawing, painting, printmaking. And I have always loved stories. I have created these images to tell simple stories about elemental aspects of life: finding joy in transitory beauty, peace in nature, the pleasures of relationships. Companion animals as well as wild ones are the characters that explore these themes. I love the design aesthetics of both the Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movements and of Japanese block prints. I am also influenced by the local landscape and by natural events and find ways of incorporating these natural occurrences to tell small stories of life's chances and wonders and mysteries.
This will be my first time participating in the Northwoods Art & Book Festival before but look forward to brings my greeting cards, luminaries and prints to the Northwoods.
(We look forward to having Kim with us next year). You can reach Kim at her email address below.
