Artist Bio:
Born in Baltimore Maryland, Kim Bradley currently lives and work in Baltimore Maryland. As a child Kim had a love for making and drawing art. Anything created you can do with your hands was Kim’s favorite passtime. As a kid of four sibblings drawing, singing, music and sewing was her solitude amongst all the chaos in her life growing up.
I’m stretching my art legs after about 20 years! I was extensively involved in art through college. I even had art on my class ring! A college professor told me I was a terrible painter so I stopped painting until recently! Terrible or beautiful, I’m having a great time! I work with acrylic and watercolor but I’m kind of all over the place! I love to dabble with different techniques and subjects! I hope you will follow along to see where I go!
My love and passion for both art and nature has led me to become a fine artist, which has allowed me to express my creativity and artistic inspirations. I love to make paint dance on the canvas with bold and bright colors that represent the beauty of all the nature that surrounds us. Although I have studied art in schools such as the School of Visual arts in New York City, I am mostly a self-thought artist. I love experimenting with oils, acrylics and watercolors, however, my main choice in mediums is acrylic paints.
Liz and iris are a free form visual and performance art duo that flit betwixt and between mediums and subjects. Their shared joy of the natural world is shown both as a recurring theme and in their reuse of materials.They have been creating artistic ripples together for 15+years. Hope you experience inspiration and wish you a light heart. Share the magic: www.lizandiris.com
John Parkins is a Baltimore based artist. His experience buying and selling antique, vintage, and discarded objects educates his artistic practice. Rather than add to the existing material surplus that inundates our world, he recycles by mining metal from unwanted silver heirlooms, housewares, and cutlery. A background in fine art and painting evokes modern and minimalist forms with strong, understated compositions. John creates at the Baltimore Jewelry Center, a communal studio and education space for metalsmiths.
I have been a semi-professional watercolor artist specializing mainly in producing watercolor portraits of people's houses for about 10 years. I also paint landscapes, describing my style as looking abstract at first, but really being representational. I recently won honorable mention at the Overlea ArtsFest.
