Kimberly Kiel

“I paint as an expression of joy and energy as I manipulate oil paint on canvas, layer upon layer, morphing into a tangible, textured surface, creating a dance of exploration, yet leaving room for interpretation, inviting viewers to engage with my art on a personal level.”

Biography
  • Kimberly Kiel

Meet Kimberly Kiel, a former thriving financial planner who boldly charted a new course at the age of 31.

Yearning for a fresh start, she intentionally transitioned from the structured logic of the left brain to the boundless creativity of the right, unleashing a kaleidoscope of texture and color onto her canvases. With each stroke of her palette knife, Kiel seeks to stir emotion and spark curiosity, aiming for her art to resonate deeply with hearts, minds, and souls. Radiating energy, warmth, and charm, she breathes life and vitality into her vibrant paintings, embodying their spirited essence.

Her artistic repertoire spans landscapes, treescapes, figurative pieces, and florals, each infused with the lush textures and blendable qualities of oil paints. Enthralled by the medium’s unhurried drying process, she embraces its slow pace as she brings her visions to life. Colour, her ever-inspiring muse, infuses her creations with a dazzling vibrancy that captivates the eye and ignites the imagination.

While largely self-taught, Kiel has gleaned invaluable wisdom from mentors throughout her remarkable artistic journey. Today, she calls an acreage near Balgonie, Saskatchewan home, where she creates, and lives alongside her loving husband and two boys.
