We are excited to have Kim’s artwork in our shop for the month of September!

She regularly competes in juried watercolor exhibitions around the nation in addition to other juried exhibitions each year, the most recent being the 2nd Annual Icons of the West held at the Dana Gallery in Missoula, MT. She has won awards for her work in watercolor and was juried into the MTWS annual juried exhibition 8 years in a row. 
Kim prefers to work with transparent watercolor in order to capture the light and mood of the subjects she paints but regularly works with other mediums such as oil, graphite, ink, and block printing or lino-cuts.
