Wow, what a week

If you've been following the weather news Iowa experienced a derecho this past Monday the 10th. Ames, Iowa was hit hard and other parts of Iowa hit even harder still. We got our power on Thursday afternoon and I've been playing catch up ever since.

The good news while sitting here in the dark with my tiny LED lantern, I've since ordered some LED desk lamps and a battery operated radio, I designed two new classes that I'll finish up this month. One is a hand stitching class the other is an earth pigment and plaster painting class.

Stay tuned for more updates. I'll be sharing video out takes with my paid patrons.

Earth and Sky Starts Monday!!!

Have you always wanted to create an original body of art, but didn't know where to start,or thought it might be boring?

It doesn't have to be hard, or boring!

How do I know this? Because I have created no less than ten separate bodies of work in the past 20+ years.

So maybe you're thinking "But Kimberly you've been at this for a long time, I'll never be able to do what you do." That's okay I don't expect you to do what I do. In fact I believe that by learning what I have learned, about creating a series, you'll surpass me and by a long shot!

In this eight week class you will learn how to use color, design, study landscapes, etc., to create your own body of original art. I will also discuss how to display your art for maximum presentation. 

All Class content is downloadable so you get to keep it for life! We also have a FaceBook classroom where I live stream, you can ask questions, share your creations, struggles, and more.

Join me for Earth and Sky, where we will explore color, texture, landscapes, and more, to create your own unique body of art!
