Artist Statement:
Born in South Africa in 1982,
Kim grew up on smallholding
where she developed a love for
the outdoors.
A love for Africa, its
wildlife and people grew in
her from a young age. From as
early as the age of 8 she used
to wonder off armed with her
pencil and a stack of paper,
drawing every bird and animal
she saw.
From early on she began
studying art but is mostly
self taught. She has worked in
many mediums, at the moment
her preferred medium is
acrylic and oil. Her
inspiration comes from Africa
and the landscapes, the rural
countryside and it’s people
and animals that inhabit this
beautiful continent.
Kim is trained in interior
design using her artistic eye
to decorate some beautiful
homes. She has also created
some fantastic murals for
Lodges, Bed and Breakfasts,
Businesses and people’s homes.
Recently Kim began
experimenting with mosaic work
but her passion is in oils on
canvas. Kim is growing her
talent in Wildlife Photography
and examples of her work will
be added here in the near
future.
Kim currently works in a
forest on the beach in the
beautiful north coast village
of Mtunzini, South Africa. ...

Born in South Africa in 1982, Kim grew up on smallholding where she developed a love for the outdoors.

Kim is growing her talent in Wildlife Photography and examples of her work will be added here in the near future.
Kim currently works in a forest on the beach in the beautiful north coast village of Mtunzini, South Africa. The forest and its birdlife and insect life is a place to “meditate and clear your soul” says Kim, she goes on the add that, “Painting has become a vehicle to express my thoughts, emotions and passions using the visual language of art. It has allowed me to discover who I am and find out what I have to say. I feel the connectivity of one thing to another and try to express these connections. I am inspired by the play of light, shadow, sheer colour, movement and atmosphere.”
You can expect top quality work done in fine oil or acrylics portrayed on mounted canvas by this new up and coming artist who is fast becoming a local celebrity in her home town. Kim is available for commissions of your favorite holiday photographs and memories. Art agents are welcome to contact her.
