I have always been inspired by this quote.

"The art of painting is to see beyond the everyday familiar vision of things", Johan Wolfgang Goethe.

Kim was born and has lived on the Sussex coast in Shoreham by Sea all her life.

She is inspired by the ever-changing nature of the sea and the sky and reflects this in her original contemporary paintings which are built of many layers of colour and texture to capture the energy and mood of the moment.

She particularly enjoys the dramatic, yet transient effects of atmosphere and light and liberating feeling of space and tranquility of horizon and shoreline and many of her paintings are influenced by this in a semi abstract expressionist style.

She works primarily in water based media as she feels it has a translucency, fluidity and vibrancy hard to match but also enjoys experimenting with mixed media techniques that highlight and celebrate texture and rich colour.

Kim also produces limited edition prints and ArtCards of her original contemporary paintings.

Kim currently shows her work and co-owns and runs Montague Gallery in Worthing which hosts over 40 local artists and artisans as well as running art workshops and exhibitions all year round.
