Kim Vergil

Born, living and working in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to this day. By the age of ten I was already drawing so much I turned my cupboard into my first studio space with a desk and my art supplies. I was also having re-occurring dreams that I still remember to this day.
Both parents’ artists themselves made sure we had art materials around and were encouraged to be artistically expressive. When I was in my early teens my father started taking me to the Contemporary Arts Museum in Montreal once a month were I saw shows by great artist of the time, Paul Klee, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Louise Nevelson and Judy Chicago to name a few… After we sat by the river and talk about ART.
Having re-occurring dreams also at this stage of life, with the same story line repeating themselves and then the Final Episode dream that resolved issues, I realized something important was taking place in my dreams.
I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up so applied and was accepted at Concordia University for a Math major, French minor. After registering and being accepted, I was unhappy and when asked, realized that I could not imagine myself doing math for the next four years… My favorite class at Cegep (college) was a complimentary ceramics course...
