Kimberly Kiel, "Going My Way," 2021

oil on canvas,  36" x 48"

Kimberly expresses herself through a wide variety of subject matter; landscapes, treescapes, figure pieces and florals.  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."  Kimberly Kiel
