Kim feels most at peace exploring the land around us. Her connection with nature comes from a love for the outdoors and has become her main source of inspiration.
ABOUT THE WORK:
Being surrounded by the buzz of city life makes me seek out calm and stillness through painting. Using a combination of watercolor paint, India ink, gold and graphite, my work is an abstract interpretation of memories and moments from my time spent in nature. I always feel a sense of peace and wonder when I’m exploring the land around us. With each painting, I try to capture those feelings and bring the outdoors in. Each work is numbered according to the order in which they were created, and also represents the number of paintings I completed in my life at that time.
ABOUT KIM:
Kim Knoll lives and works in Chicago, not far from Half Acre Brewery. Her days are spent working alongside her husband at Knoed, their two-person graphic design studio. Kim’s minimal and modern aesthetic with graphic design translates over to her paintings, where ideas are simplified and stripped down to basic forms.
