ARTIST BIO
"In a culture full of stress and chaos, painting is my way of encouraging people to stop, pause, and enjoy the moment. When you walk into a room and see one of my vibrant landscapes, I hope you’ll want to linger in front of it. Following the pathway to a better place where joy, happiness, and positive energy await you."
- Kimberly Adams

Living on Bainbridge Island, I draw inspiration exploring the island. As I walk, I envision capturing the colors around me on the canvas, aiming to re-imagine the essence of that moment. Through color, I strive to evoke the emotions and feeling that's experienced in nature.
​
I would describe my style as modern contemporary with a hint of impressionistic, as I feel a kinship with the original masters, like Claude Monet, Emily Carr, Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha, and others. Appreciating the confidence to use color to express feeling. I apply daubs of creamy, richly pigmented oil paint to every canvas, allowing the pure, vivid colors to visually blend on the surface and in the viewer’s eye.
I’ve added a little twist to my creative process: Painting only with my fingertips and a few unconventional tools. This gives me more control over how I apply and move the paint. You will often find a pathway in my paintings, to remind us that life is never a straight and narrow path, that we can lean into the adventure of finding the positive in every turn. I trust that all of you will see the joy and energy I feel when I’m painting come through my collection of work.
