KIMBERLEY HARRIS<br />

DRAMATIC JUXTAPOSITIONS OF COLOUR AND TEXTURE<br />

One of Kimberley’s earliest memories was her father, a great<br />

lover of Impressionist art, taking to her to a JMW Turner<br />

exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London. It made such an<br />

impression on her, that was it, she was going to paint like this<br />

genius one day! Ten years later Kimberley gained a Diploma in<br />

<strong>Art</strong> and Design, and her artistic career took off!<br />

“With an emphasis on colour and light and how one affects the<br />

other at different times of the day, Turners artistic inspiration<br />

is never far from my thoughts.”<br />

Kimberley's work embodies a wonderful sense of emotion and<br />

atmosphere. The smooth skies juxtapose with the rich heavy<br />

impasto technique which is employed in the creation of the<br />

floral foreground. The palette knife application of paint adds<br />

drama to each composition, which is further reinforced by<br />

Kimberley’s courageous use of colour. There is an incredible<br />

sense of depth to her work and the composition encourages the<br />

viewer to drift effortlessly through the floral notes, as we head<br />

towards to distant skies of tranquillity in the background.<br />

Kimberley is a highly regarded master of her chosen genre and<br />

has had sell out solo exhibitions in the UK for many years.<br />

Her work is enjoyed worldwide with collectors in<br />

the USA and Australia.<br />
