My name is Kim and I was born in California in 1963. I am a collage artist and I make fiber art dolls.
About the Artist
I am a collage/watercolor artist. I use vintage images taken from old orphan photos and create new worlds with them. I love to mesh images of people and places and things that never lived together originally. I create these new worlds on water-colored backgrounds. The name gardenpainter refers to the fact that every one of my collages has an image of my own garden within it.
