Kim has worked with top architects and interior designers including Mark Hampton. She has been commissioned to paint murals, to do decorative painting and faux finishing on walls, floors, cabinets, rugs, fixtures and furniture on estates throughout the Hamptons.
Kim is currently available for private commissions. She will do portraits of the things you cherish most: dogs, horses, all pets including frogs and turtles, and, of course, your children.
She begins with a “getting acquainted” session, conducted virtually or in your home, as an in-depth study that enables the artist to depict the true spirit of the ones you love. After she has compiled all the pertinent information, she will compose and paint the portrait. This lasting gift can be given with great pride to fellow loved ones to cherish and enjoy for generations to come.
Client Compliments
“Scott and I are so overwhelmed and please with Brian’s portrait. You did an incredible job. I am so thankful to you for capturing both of the boys in that "childhood moment”. No matter how big they get - I will always have their portraits to remind me of my babies. We truly cherish your work and cannot thank you enough. You are a gifted artist and a wonderful and kind-hearted soul! Thank you again!” — Janet and Scott Emmons
“Kim patiently photographed our black Labrador, Maggie, capturing her expressions in various lighting, thereby enabling her to transpose the perfect image into her oil portrait. Her persistence was well worth the time she spent with our dog, as she put her heart and creative soul into that painting of our much-loved pet. This picture will always remind us of the gentle, loving dog we cherished - the sparkle in her eyes and sweet demeanor were so perfectly depicted. Thank you, Kim, for sharing your gift with our family!” — Nancy
”The painting arrived and it is so beautiful and perfect. When we got up yesterday, I fixed us brunch including Mimosas and Jeff opened his Present. He was really taken back and over whelmed. He just loved it and was very touched. He wants to bring it to the store so he can see it every day until we can find the perfect spot at home. Thank you for being so timely with getting it to me for his special day.
Thank you for brightening our lives with such a beautiful work of art.“ — Adair
