Kim Kitchen In The Studio

WELCOME

It is here; surrounded by such beauty; the turning of seasons, birth, death, regeneration, all that informs my ability to create, engaged in the natural elements and the unfolding of my life. From years of working in the anti-violence movement I continue to be engaged in creating work that speaks to social justice, using my visual voice to express the actions required for change. Along with my life partner, our daughters, four legged friendships, family and friends from near and far, the web continues to be weaved.  

I thank you for visiting my on-line studio and welcome you to return.  

In gratitude, Kim

ARTWORK

I approach my work with the consideration of an opportunity; the ability to unite understanding of the world and human experience, creating visuals that reflect, giving space and attention to that which are the truths of our time. As we are inundated with images of prescribed beauty, illusions of what we should be,  story lines that define worth, advertising that dictates who and what is of value, I am inspired to create work that is grounded in issues relevant to culture, identity, environment and the daily happenings of our lives. Simply, creating mirrors that reflect the experience and relationship to the landscape in which I wander.
