BIOGRAPHY

Continuous growth happens whether one is ready for it or not. The latest loss of loved ones has made a lasting impact that has caused a shift in her art. She is always searching for that other dimension. Kimberly has begun working in a variety of media on canvas to capture the multiple dimensions experienced while on this earth. Shifts in energy is the first indication that there are other dimensions and she believes we exist in one though others overlap creating a sense that something else is out there. The most obvious is how energy in nature changes suddenly and sometimes dramatically from peaceful to frenzied and back within moments. The molecules begin to frantically move causing your hair to stand on end. Even colors and textures in the same landscape can shift, very often within moments. This intrigues her as she tries to capture these multiple dimensions in her work. Nature restores her soul and fills her with peace and happiness and a sense of gratitude.
She is a professional member of the Martin Artisans Guild, the St. Lucie Cultural Alliance, the NAWA organization and a member of NAWAFL. She has been the recipient of local, national and international awards.

STATEMENT

I believe life exists in multiple dimensions, just not as we know it. We experience this through shifts in energy and even color. What may feel to be one moment in time may actually be multiple moments in that same space in time. I try to manipulate this effect through my work. The effect I am trying to achieve is to try to convey a sense of what may be happening in this place, at the same moment but in a different reality. I want the viewer to move between these dimensions and have begun to layer using several techniques and medium to achieve this. By using multiple materials, I found this to be effective in creating an interaction of physical and visual planes pulling the viewer in and pushing them back.
