About Kimberly Costa-Stearns Artwork

I have always been passionate about painting and exploring new art mediums. Painting is a peaceful time for me, when I can escape from the realities of daily life. My paintings mark an intersection between abstraction and reality. In my artwork, I am continuously inspired by nature. After many years of studying and photographing the patterns in nature, my work is full of organic shapes and landscapes that are representative of the natural world. Many of my landscape paintings are inspired by the Cascade Mountains. I use crumpled tissue paper on the canvas, to add texture and dimension to my acrylic paintings. I enjoy experimenting with a variety of mixed media materials and creative techniques in my work. My goal is to have my art transport the viewer into another world, if just for a moment.
