About Me.

Hello and welcome! I’m Kim, the artist behind the easel! Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.

I have always had a passion for art and a deep love of animals and nature. As a young girl, I would spend hours exploring nature or in my room drawing animals and studying all the instructional art books I could get my hands on. I desired to improve quickly and to learn as much as I could about creating art. I remain dedicated to that same mindset in my art practice today.

As an adult, I continue to enjoy nature and to surround myself with furry and finned creatures. I have raised and exhibited lop-eared rabbits and alpacas, kept sheep and horses, and maintained saltwater and freshwater aquariums. Currently, my family lives in Vermont, where we have two standard Poodles, two toy Poodles, several grand-dogs, and freshwater aquariums.

As one might guess, combining my love of animals and art has come naturally to me. I have found that one of the great joys of being a pet portrait artist is being able to collaborate with other pet owners and lovers. Creating a pet portrait can be a very personal journey, especially if the art is to commemorate a deceased pet. I strive to make this journey as meaningful and comfortable as it can be for the pet owner. I also work hard to bring out the unique individuality and personality of their pet in my artwork.

When I’m not painting, I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, playing mandolin, gardening, and knitting.

Please feel free to explore my website. If any artwork appeals to you, or if you would like to commission a pet portrait or another animal-themed piece, kindly fill out the form below, and I will respond promptly.
