Kim Stenberg

I live to paint and I paint because I must. I retired early from my job as a college history professor to paint full time. So it is my second life; or, was my previous life a mere dream?

I paint landscapes, still lifes, animals and portraits in oil and watercolor that are moody, evocative, and impassioned.

I am a self-taught artist who used to be a college history professor. I continue to take classes and workshops with nationally-renowned teachers to grow as an artist.

Classes with Danni Dawson, Sara Linda Poly, Diane Tesler, John Murray, Deborah Ellis, Susan Herron, Lisa Semerad, and other teachers at the Art League School, Alexandria, VA.

Workshops with Robert A. Johnson, Jean Grastorf, Jean Uhl Spicer, Dreama Tolle Perry, Gregory Packard, Stephen Early, and Robert Liberace.
