Kimberly Varnadoe
Painter/Printmaker/Artist
Artist Statement
Kimberly Varnadoe focuses on the natural elements as a basis for understanding oneself, the natural world, and the human experience. The Elements remind us of the natural world’s beautiful complexity. Recognizing the interconnectedness of the elements can inspire a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Varnadoe currently works in oil painting as a meditation practice and explores automatic mark making. She enjoys experimentation and feels that art is most alive during the art creation – the final work of art is the record of the process.
