Kim Casebeer

Kim Casebeer divides her time between the studio and painting outdoors en plein air. Kim feels strongly that her plein airs give her valuable insight when working on larger pieces and therefore keeps outdoor studies as reference. The light, shadows, wind, rain, sun, and how she felt - these are all important notes to capture. She does not want to just paint pretty pictures. Kim has an uncommon command of color, light and atmosphere and using these skills, can take a landscape painting and elicit an emotional response. She may have 8-10 pieces at various stages of completion in her studio at any given time because she needs to put them away at various stages in order to be able to get them back out and look at them with fresh eyes.  Even though it takes time for each painting to reach it’s full potential, Kim keeps the brush work fresh and keeps the outdoor studies close in order to remind her of that spontaneity.  

Kim’s work has been featured in magazine articles in American Art Collector (2009, 2011), Western Art Collector (2010), Southwest Art (2011, 2015), Art of the West (2011, 2018), PleinAir Magazine (2013, 2015, 2018), and Fine Art Connoisseur (2014).  She is featured in the Grand Teton and Yellowstone section of Art of...

Kim received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Kansas State University in 1992.  She worked as a graphic designer and art director until 2002, when she was able to make the leap to full-time artist.  Kim has continued her study with artists such as Albert Handell, W. Scott Jennings, Michael Albrechtsen, Scott Christensen and Matt Smith.
