Kimberly Frimel

Kimberly Frimel born in Cleveland, Ohio, lives and works in Lake Worth, Florida. Having received a Bachelors in Fine Art/Drawing from Cleveland State University and studies at the Cleveland Institute of art, she primarily worked in Graphic arts for many years. Most recently she returned to her studio and her love of painting. Primarily working in India Ink & acrylics, her current focus is on figurative art and human emotions. She combines her love of drawing with expressionistic painting.

Having always been inspired by natural elements, for most of her work she prefers to work with handmade papers, raw canvas and distressed or unfinished wood. The texture, weight and characteristics of a materials surface have profound effects on the way a piece will look and feel. The marriage of the medium and the subject matter are most important to me as they can give life to the piece.

The unity is unique. Simple, yet bold, a play with the dramatic contrasts between black and white, subject and medium.

Each piece is an expressive, emotional creation that emerge from a specially treated background. Development of my pieces walk hand in hand with the spiritually conscious energy of the subject matter. The pieces have a power that can take the audience on an intense, sometimes emotional viewing experience.

“As artists, we open ourselves to feel, conduct and then create what we ingest mentally. My goal is to honor what I feel and convey to the audience to the best of my ability, the same visual and emotional experiences.
