Beautiful Storm II Painting

"Art and music are to my soul, as food and water are to my body. I believe that they are two of God's most precious gifts to His children. As the author and giver of creativity, through these gifts, He has given us a portion of Himself. He created the very first canvas, magnificently painted it, and brought it to life" I am a full time artist, working primarily on canvas, and paper. Definitely a colorist, I believe I have the heart of an Abstract Expressionist, or even more accurately, an Action Expressionist. Each painting is a journey, dictated by primarily by my current thoughts and emotions, be they happy, sad, peaceful or frenzied. It is a mysterious relationship, and is thrilling when the painting finally reveals itself, and our private journey becomes a story to share. In December of 2013, I opened Kimberly Conrad Contemporary Art Gallery, a 700 square foot space in Denver, Colorado. I am in the Capitol Hill area in a charming building built in 1906. My gallery overlooks the 7th avenue restaurant district, and provides beautiful city views. I am blessed to have a studio in the same building, as well as a beautiful home studio, for those snowy winter days. I endeavor to translate my love of life, and the absolute bliss of creating through my art.
