| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
A project in High School Studio Art Class where I had to create my own rendition of a Classic Artist's work. I chose "Waterlillies" by Claude Monet.
My painting was entered into a local exhibit/ contest, and won first place for painting. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Painting is something that makes me happy, and relieves stress. It has also given me the opportunity to meet alot of nice people, and be around others with the same kind of passions in life. I got back into it four years ago after the birth of my third child, but have been painting on and off since high school.
It is now my profession, and I hope to return to school to get my degree. |

About the Artist
K I M B E R L E Y T O D D W A L T O N
In the tradition of the French Impressionist Movement, Kimberley's work is closely associated with the extraordinary new way of seeing pictures that occurred during the last third of the nineteenth century. Kimberley's unique way of seeing, in which forms are dissolved in light, her asymmetrical compositions, and her method of dividing color and applying pigment to the canvas defines her vision of delightful depiction's of nature.
Kimberley lived on Nantucket for six years where pure light played a significant role in the large artistic population of the Island. It was on Nantucket that Kimberley was exposed to artists and galleries.
A graduate of Mendham High School where she won first place in the National Art Honor Society Second Annual Invitational Art Competition, Kimberley studied Art History and French. It was here she became interested in the French Masters and traveled to France for two summers as a Foreign Exchange Student. The French landscape, its people and their language became the driving force behind her need to paint.
Kimberley's range in painting is broad while maintaining a central focus on the light falling on, and the colors released by, the subject. Whether it be a single delicate flower or a raucous bouquet, it is handled with sensitivity and technical mastery.
ARTIST STATEMENT
For me, especially since I have had children, painting has been my form of relaxation and escape from my world of being a homemaker. It has provided me an outlet for my creativity, a time for myself and no one else. I love doing florals and landscapes, as I am often inspired by my own garden. Painting takes me to a higher level of consciousness.
I am especially fond of seeing colors in nature, and being able to create a single color out of many mixed together; and explore how each compliments one another.
Acrylic paint allows this symbiotic mixture to happen.
