With love and friendship, Kimberly would like to respectfully acknowledge the Ktunaxa and Secwépemc peoples, whose beautiful unceded lands she was raised on and where she lives, works, and paints. Kimberly feels it an honour to learn and grow together through listening and engagement and hopes to support a bright future that is radiant with love and respect to all Beings.
 Pink HouseI encountered this abandoned pink house in a field. As I was working on the painting I realized I was unconsciously processing the grief of witnessing a parent navigate health challenges, my fear of loss and parents aging, but also an acute awareness of how this experience provides the fortune of slowing down, deepening connection, practicing vulnerability, and prioritizing quality time. Connection can be its own type of shelter. Acrylic, Acrylic Ink on canvas, 48” x 48” $3000 |  Parasympathetic PaintingSlow diaphragmatic breathing or breathing deeply into the belly facilitates our nervous system to calm and enter a parasympathetic state. Extending our exhales to be longer than our inhales when we breathe has the same pacifying effect where we can think more clearly and feel more calm, centred, and relaxed. Imagine breathing in the light and exhaling old residual tension. Acrylic, Acrylic Ink on cradled panel, 36” x 60” $3000 |  Her InwardThe land becomes a part of her, the stones like her bones, the wind swirling like her thoughts, creative impetus blowing through flushing out stagnation. Like water reflecting but not holding those experiences of past. Fire, warm and regenerative. Acrylic, Acrylic Ink on canvas, 36” x 36” $1800 |

 Rayleigh ScatteringRayleigh scattering happens when the light from the sun is scattered off particles in the atmosphere. The beautiful gradation of soft pink, yellow, and white in the winter skies just after sunset is caused by the increased atmosphere and, therefore, increased particles to scatter the light. The blue light is scattered more easily than red or orange light, so this extra atmosphere causes the red or orange light to be more visible.

A love for the city and connection to arts and culture and anonymity. I live between the two.

Art
Kimberly attended Alberta College of Art and Design in the late 90’s and Graduated with a Bachelor of Design in 2002. In her final year at ACAD, her work was featured in Canada’s Applied Arts Magazine.
Early in her career, she worked in-house at design agencies, and as a freelance illustrator. After travel, she stepped away from the Applied Arts, and jumped into the sculptural field of carpentry and residential home construction for 8 years.
With a need to return more fully to her roots in the visual arts, she was selected as one of the Artists to participate in ‘Art in the Park’ 125 years of Glacier National Park and Yoho National Park. From there she coordinated private art classes, including a portraiture and mixed media workshop for Leah Evan’s Female Youth Program: ‘Circle In.’ Kimberly has been a speaker at PechaKucha at Key City Theatre on her Art and Process, and has been the Artist in Residence at Pynelogs Cultural Centre in Invermere, BC for the past 5 years.
Deeply drawn into understanding the mechanisms of the body and mind, she thoroughly studies and practices the eastern healing arts of Thai Massage and Yoga in which she runs her own business alongside her Visual Arts.
Private Collections of her work can be found throughout North America.
