Kimberly Abbott
Kimberly is an intuitive artist who has studied various styles of the masters, especially leaning towards O’Keeffe, Van Gogh and Turner. She draws her inspiration from the mystery that is life and is driven by music and affectivity. Kimberly’s art is abstract with influences of nature, with the colors leading the emotions of the shapes. Her background in song and dance also lends itself to the lyrical quality of her work.
Kimberly's debut solo showing in NYC in December 2009 had great success and her work can be now be seen in private collections across the country as well as Australia, Sweden, New Zealand and Japan.
From the Artist... Abstract is where I feel at home as it allows me to delve deeper into the themes, words, emotions I am aiming to express. When starting a painting, I may have colors and/or shapes in mind but ultimately the piece itself will tell me where to go while allowing my emotions, surroundings and music to help guide me through the process. And having been a professional singer for many years, you can certainly find me singing while painting!! It's an additional release for me and I find that it greatly contributes to my work.
