Kimberly Kiel, "One More Time with Feeling Part 2," nd

oil on canvas, 24" x 24"

“For me creating art is a passion.  A celebration of the joy and colour to be found in life."

Kimberly’s business experience and entrepreneurial spirit have served her well. Her artwork is currently showcased and sold in galleries from British Columbia to Quebec, as well as in Switzerland.  It can be found in private and corporate collections worldwide.

Kimberly expresses herself through a wide variety of subject matter; landscapes & treescapes; figure pieces & florals.  She loves the creaminess of oil, the opportunity to blend, the fact that it doesn’t dry too quickly.  Looking at her work, it’s obvious that colour is a major source of inspiration.  She greatly enjoys playing around with the surface on the canvas, getting different layers and textures.

“I paint as an expression of joy and energy.   It is pure delight to squeeze out huge piles of oil paint, squish it around, have it blend, meld, combine.  Wet paint, layer upon layer, morphing into a tangible and interesting surface – thick, creamy, an array of gorgeous impasto marks.  I strive to leave much to the imagination, for the viewer to fill in the blanks.  To go from a blank, white canvas to one filled with brilliant, glorious colour.  – there is a huge sense of satisfaction in that."

She acknowledges that her goal is to create something subjective, intriguing and stimulating.  She wants her art to touch and engage heart, mind and soul. As an artist, Kimberly is energetic outgoing and charming, just like the paintings she creates.  Her full-of-life attitude perfectly depicts her creations.
