Since November last year Kimberly and I have met regularly to discuss art and the working life of a painter as part of the Newcastle Art Space Mentor Program. Her paintings are sharply observed with an individual eye that picks out objects and scenes that we see everyday.

Kimberly has the ability to turn the ordinary in the adept, inviting works with subject matter and composition that are distinctly her own. This, along with her determination, made the mentorship a great experience to be part of.
