Kim Painter

Kim spends time bumbling about some pretty amazing landscapes. Beautifully simple summer gardens, copious creeks and mystical marshes. She's influenced and finds beauty in the atmospheric changes in landscapes and waterscapes. Kim's main medium is oil because of it's blend ability & forgiving nature. Her approach for landscape art is characterized as Tonalism. If you're wondering what Tonalism is, you are not alone. Tonalism isn't as well known as Impressionism, Expressionism, Realism, Abstract or most any other defined art movement. Tonalism emphases color, line and shape without narrative as a way of communicating visual harmony and spirituality. Tonalism and abstraction share similar qualities and Kim explores art making in all its infinite possibilities.
