This month on the Art Wall, in the Adult Services Department at AAPLD, you’ll find the work of artist Kim Anderson. A bead artist and retired law enforcement professional, Kim has turned her talents to watercolors and acrylics. Her art will be displayed through the month of October. Learn a little more about the talented artist behind the work.
The Artist: Kim Anderson
Community: Lake In The Hills
Background/training: For many years, my medium was beads, having been blessed with friendships with some of the premier artists in the Chicago bead community. Recently, I’ve been working with acrylics and watercolors, fine-tuning my style under the guidance of artist and teacher Eddwin Meyers.
Preferred media: Acrylics, watercolors and beads
Preferred subject: Flowers, and small quiet moments with lots of vibrant color and detail.
What do you want people to think/feel when looking at your work? I enjoy painting on a smaller scale, a study of the tiny details that make up the beauty, emotion and sense of a scene. I hope that viewers will come away with a greater appreciation of things normally taken for granted or wholly missed. Look, smile, and enjoy!
