About the artist
“When I add my imagination to the miracles of nature, I find the essence of my work.”
Having spent her childhood in a lush farming area of Pennsylvania, Kim’s relationship with nature began early. She used the farmland behind her home as the backdrop of her many forays into childhood fantasy. Exploring in the fields and pastures was a frequent pastime. She would then use the inspiration she found to create and illustrate stories.
Primarily self-taught and still eager to continue perfecting her skills, Kim combines her boundless love of nature with studying, photographing, and sculpting the flora and fauna in the various regions she visits.
Surrounded by majestic landscape and abundant wildlife in Sedona, Arizona, Kim combines her lively imagination with reality and shows us nature through her eyes in the sculptures she creates.
In 2023, Kim introduced her new book Stories in Bronze. Kim has more than a lifetime of stories to tell. This book is a testament to rising above struggles and remaining true to yourself. Her sculptures invite us to delight in the wonders of the world by viewing some of its creatures in a new light. The book has many beautiful photographs of Kim’s work, an autobiography, and information regarding her long sculpting career. Stories in Bronze is available at Sage Creek Gallery.
