Hand Painted Botanical Slate

These pieces were created from pieces of formed slate that a friend of mine gave me which she discovered in her basement. Slate is very prevalent in my area of PA; and I am hoping to be able to create more of these.
Large Hand Painted Botanical Slate $60.00
The right hand views of these pieces are with eisel stands I purchased to hold them; instead of using some kind of mounting device. I found this method of display is more appropriate to the designs.
Small Hand Painted Botanical Slate $30.00

My First Collaborative Painting
I would highly recommend doing collaborations with other artists; it is a chance for both people to learn from each other, while creating something beautiful.
This painting will be featured at the Pennsylvania State Theatre Gallery, along with pieces from various other ACE artists, which opens on September 28, 2008. The opening is from 3-5 pm. The show will run from 9/18 to 11/7. The State Theatre is located on Northampton Street, in Easton, PA.
Completed, framed "Lady in Waiting", acrylic on canvas. This is an antique frame which Charlie Hanson restored for this project.
Completed, prior to framing.
This is the end of Stage 1 of the painting, after I finished most of my work on this piece; leaving the figure for the other artist to begin. I then completed the finishing touches, as it appears above.
This is my sketch that I worked from for this piece, done roughly in charcoal. It is a very good idea to do this prior to starting anything on canvas, so that you are sure of the placement and scale of the items in the painting. The idea for the background scene started when Charlie, the other artist and I, were doing an outdoor show at the beginning of the summer, and I started to do some sketches after he asked me if I would be interested in collaborating with him on a project. I love lilly ponds, and artists like Monet and Seurat, and wanted the figure in the piece to appear like those in of Monet and Seurat.

Restoration of Authentic German Hope Chest
I had to repaint mostly the entire orange area on the lid; it was so damaged.....the customer did not want me to do too much to destroy the authenticity of the piece- and I believe I was true to his wishes.
BEFORE- FRONT VIEW
This is the first time I have ever undertaken this type of furniture "restoration". With patience and attention to detail, it can be done properly; and look even better than before.

Upcoming Events: 2 outdoor shows

This is a view of my set-up with a free-standing display. It was a reqirement of this particular show; but I would recommend it to any serious artist who does not want their work to fall in the wind. It is very heavy to transport, but it's worth it not to have anything get damaged from the wind blowing.
This is the view down the river, looking at the "Free Bridge" between Easton, PA and Phillipsburg, NJ. The park is located just to the side of the main bridge on rt. 22.

"All Walks of Life" at the Garden of Easton, Opening April 19, 2008

The Garden of Easton is a quaint little shop which is owned by a fellow ACE Member and friend, and has a somewhat "ecclectic" ambiance. "Everything available to create your tranquil space indoors and out, i.e. fountains, wind chimes, gifts for gardeners, plants and more".
This is the second time I have had a piece on exhibit in this location. I hope to be exhibiting another after this show. For more information on the show or the shop itself, please visit

ACE Collaborative Books

Gallery 31 North Collaborative Book- This the second collaborative book in a series that I have been asked to participate in with my Art Group, The Art Community of Easton. This time, the theme is "The Ground We Stand On"; which could be interpreted in a variety of ways. My piece is a focus on how Nature inspires us to create art. This is too, where alot of my inspiration comes from in all of my work. The front states "The Ground We Stand On.....Inspires Us", while the back reads, "The Beauty of Nature".
This collaborative book serves to create a dialog and communityvia a preconceived book structure that will be displayed at
Gallery 31 North, Glen Gardner, NJ beginning August 20, 2006
through September 3, 2006. The Opening for this show will be on August 20, 2006 from 1-4 pm. The Skillman Library at Lafayette College, Easton, PA will be its permanent home.
It is very interesting to me to work on such a small scale, and
have my piece put together with other artist's work to create
something which makes a great impact on such a large scale.

Artist Statement and Bio

About the Artist
K I M B E R L E Y T O D D W A L T O N
In the tradition of the French Impressionist Movement, Kimberley's work is closely associated with the extraordinary new way of seeing pictures that occurred during the last third of the nineteenth century. Kimberley's unique way of seeing, in which forms are dissolved in light, her asymmetrical compositions, and her method of dividing color and applying pigment to the canvas defines her vision of delightful depiction's of nature.
Kimberley lived on Nantucket for six years where pure light played a significant role in the large artistic population of the Island. It was on Nantucket that Kimberley was exposed to artists and galleries.
A graduate of Mendham High School where she won first place in the National Art Honor Society Second Annual Invitational Art Competition, Kimberley studied Art History and French. It was here she became interested in the French Masters and traveled to France for two summers as a Foreign Exchange Student. The French landscape, its people and their language became the driving force behind her need to paint.
Kimberley's range in painting is broad while maintaining a central focus on the light falling on, and the colors released by, the subject. Whether it be a single delicate flower or a raucous bouquet, it is handled with sensitivity and technical mastery.
ARTIST STATEMENT
For me, painting has been my form of relaxation and escape from my every day world. It has provided me an outlet for my creativity, a time for myself. I love doing florals and landscapes, as I am often inspired by my own garden. Painting takes me to a higher level of consciousness.
I am especially fond of seeing colors in nature, and being able to create a single
color out of many mixed together; and explore how each compliments one another.
Acrylic paint allows this symbiotic mixture to happen.

"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment." Claude Monet
