Kimberly Overton
Artist Bio
Kimmy grew up along the California coast. Coastal scenes from her childhood (such as the ocean, sky, and sunsets) emerge as a strong voice in her artistic expression, although often in quite abstract ways.
A self-taught artist, Kimmy was heavily influenced to continue her art by her one art professor in college, San Francisco Bay Area artist Frank Lobdell. It was through his teaching style, that she realized the freedom of expression available through art and particularly through painting. With the simple words keep painting and no other critique, Lobdell‘s encouragement has kept her painting through her adult life. Her art does not fit a category as she was drawn to artistic expression as a place of absolute freedom.
