Kimberley (b. 1975) lives on the Isle of Purbeck on the south coast of England, Dorset.
 

Her abstracted landscape paintings are a response to places that hold some sense of mystery or the intangible. Using composition as storytelling, her feelings expressed through colour, she looks to focus in on something undefined in an attempt to hold on to a sense of place.

​

Using colour and mark making initially as an investigation, then searching through the process to allow the act of painting to take her on a journey. Kim will often start her work en Pléin Air then move back to the studio to allow that transition from recorded observation to creating works that are felt as much as they are seen.

​

Growing up Kim's artistic influences were wide ranging, from films by Hal Ashby to Ghibli animations. Illustrations by Beatrix Potter, Arthur Rackham, Cicely Mary Barker. The work of Vallatton, Bonnard, Vuillard, Kollwitz, Van Gogh, Sargent, Keifer, Deibenkorn, Munch and Klimt's Landscapes to the Japanese Edo Period. All seem to have assembled like an internal rolodex of imagery forever rotating.

​

Kim sells internationally, has worked on a number of commissions in the UK and the United States and has a painting in the National Gallery of Ireland in perpetuity. Alongside this she works with interiors companies supplying framed prints and paintings.
