Always Have A Sense Of Humor Collage

B.- Kentucky Works - Brooklyn, NY & Henderson, KY Raised in Kentucky, Kim left her home state on her quest to become a fine artist. She attended Ringling School of Fine Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. Kim would migrate to New York City in 1991. At this time she found herself starting a business creating 3-dimensional functional works, which lasted for 6 years. Then, in 1998, she decided to completely immerse herself in her fine art. She has most recently returned to her roots in Kentucky to explore the surroundings that she has long missed & remembers so fondly, these surroundings which started her on her current path. Kim currently works from her studios in Brooklyn, New York & Henderson, KY.“My work is both a blend of inspiration and compulsion,” says Luttrell. “I find my ideas thrusting me further into a seemingly endless day. Those days become further filled with genuine excitement as I see my creations grow in complexity. My thoughts can then be brought to those who view my work, leaving words unnecessary in the telling of my stories.” Luttrell’s works are in corporate and private collections throughout the United States & 10 countries. Along with several works on loan for exhibition & for the permanent collection at the US Embassy in Prague, Czech Republic through the Art in Embassies program. She has participated in solo and group shows & Fine Art Fairs in New York, Miami, Houston & Toronto and was a featured artist at the House and Garden Showhouse in New Jersey's Havemeyer Mansion. Kim was the topic of an independent documentary produced by Australian filmmaker Melanie Hogan, "The Artist & The Painter". She has received an Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant and an Artist Fellowship Grant and is an Honored Member of the National Association of Professional Women. Her work has been added to the permanent archives of the Library and Research Center of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC.
