About the Artist
My work explores not only the beauty of nature but of people who appear to be looking right through you. The images of nature are lonely and still and those images of people tend to show emotion with a direct view into their life at that moment in their eyes. Heavily inspired by photographer Nan Goldin, my favorite images to produce are of what is and who is around me living real life, which sometimes mirrors the sadness that engulfs many of us. I’m fascinated by the polarity of nature images to the portrait images and this can be seen in my newly published book titled, Abstracted Distractions: teetering between here and gone which showcases images from the past twenty years. (Due out this year!) Kimberly will be starting her new photography project entitled Hints of Happiness which will explore mental health through portraiture. This project will take her to 5 different national and international artist residencies in 2023 with the expectation to exhibit this body of work in the future.
