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 />
