Kimberly Dickinson is a self-taught multi-genre artist, fine art photographer, and jewelry designer born and raised in the colorful and culturally diverse city of Miami Beach, now living in the beautiful state of Colorado.
An intuitive expressionist, she traverses the world of art, photography, and design with an unlimited palette and a spirit of openness. She finds inspiration in nature, philosophy, psychology, science, mathematics, literature, folklore and mythology, and in the cultural zeitgeist of the world at large.
As a painter and mixed media artist, she has always been drawn to the drama and purity of abstract imagery. Many of her works are an expression of this - a study in abstraction with a focus on the dynamic relationship between color and form. She also loves creating fluid acrylic works, surrealist and pop surrealist works, oceanscapes, and enchanted and sometimes dark fairytale-like landscapes and figurative works that are rich with symbolism and literary references.
Although she hasn't actively pursued the traditional route of showing her work in galleries, past art exhibitions include a February 2004 group show at Marziart Internationale Gallery in Hamburg and a number of private exhibitions in South Florida.
As a fine art photographer, she enjoys several genres of photography: abstract (geometric and/or surreal structures and forms, patterns, and textures), architecture, cityscapes, conceptual photography, infrared (both B&W and colorized), urban decay, macro photography, and landscape/nature photography. Of all the genres, her favorite is landscape photography; as such, she has amassed a large collection of landscape shots, and she loves working with various post-processing applications and experimental techniques to create more interesting surreal images and dreamscapes. Although she's fairly new to photography, some of her photographs have been featured on MTV, HGTV, and in the book, "Weird Colorado."
Her goal as an artist and photographer is to share and celebrate the divine beauty and magic in this world, and to explore and examine the duality of darkness and light.
