ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Kimberly is a contemporary abstract artist based in NYC. Originally from the Los Angeles area, Kimberly started her professional visual arts career at the young age of 13. A steady 20+year career of singing, dancing and musical theater led her to NYC.

A self taught artist, Abbott draws her inspiration from the mystery that is life and is driven by music and affectivity. Her art is infused with influences of nature, with the colors leading the emotions of the shapes. Her background in song and dance also lends itself to the lyrical quality of her work.

Her creative process is a cathartic one, like a personal journal of life experiences.

“Abstract is where I feel at home as it allows me to delve deeper into the themes, words, emotions I am aiming to express. When starting a painting, I may have colors and/or shapes in mind but ultimately the piece itself will tell me where to go while allowing my emotions, surroundings and music to help guide me through the process. And having been a professional singer for many years, you can certainly find me singing while painting!! It's an additional release for me and I find that it greatly contributes to my work."

Kimberly regularly exhibits throughout the tri-state area and her work now resides in private collections across North America, Europe and Asia.
