Artwork Description

While studying printmaking in London I enjoyed watching and taking photos of the poppies that grow in Spring. They are the most beautiful flowers. I took one of my photos and used a process called reduction lino printing to carefully carved out the lino and print layer on layer of colour to produce this piece of art. Poppies make me smile. I love to watch them grow and I love having one hanging in my house to remind me of their beauty.

Artist Bio

‘Created to Create’ Kim has a strong faith in God and enjoys the beauty around her, both in nature and manmade structures. Kim has always enjoyed creating her own original art. It wasn’t until Kim attended teacher’s college that she discovered printmaking and found her preferred artform. Kim and her husband lived in London for many years and this is where Kim studied printmaking for five years. Kim uses the many photos she has taken on her travels as inspiration for her art work. She works mainly with lino but also works with etchings, lithographs, monoprints, collagraphs and screen printing.
One of Kim’s favourite techniques is reduction lino printing. Kim loves the unique look that printmaking creates in her artworks.
In 2023, at the Brookfield show, Kim was awarded First Prize and Best in Show for her artwork.
