"I really enjoyed Kim's class. She worked with each person individually and helped us see how to capture life on a 2-D  surface. I particularly appreciated her teaching on perspective and how to mix colors to get the desired result. She gives good feedback and encouragement. I recommend her class for anyone wanting to improve their plein air skills." - Carolyn Hoffman   "I am relatively new to painting with oils. I have taken both of Kim's classes. She limits class size to give enough personal attention to each student. I find Kim to be very helpful and informative. She appreciates feedback and will do whatever she can to make a subject more understood. She has an easy personal style which is both positive and encouraging. Kim structures her teaching to make oil painting appear rather "simple". Her instructions are clear, concise and to the point. I highly recommend her classes to the beginner and to the more seasoned artist who wants to try the Plein air experience with a group!" - MaryAnne Ardito   "Kim selects great painting locations, and provides detailed directions to get you to the right spot. She works with both experienced and beginning painters and she takes the time to help you improve regardless of your skill level. Kim does a great job of explaining each step as she paints so that you understand what colors she mixed and why you would use those colors to get the desired effect.  It was great to get some solid ideas for how to create 3D-space in a painting. I highly recommend her classes!" - Eric Wolff "I have only attended three  of Kim's classes, but I learned more in those three sessions than I learned in all of my college art classes combined-and I have a minor in fine arts. I have learned about mixing colors, using warm and cool colors to create depth, about laying out the composition of my paintings, about selecting what part of the landscape to include, and a great deal more. Kim is not only an excellent instructor, but she is positive and supportive. She always makes you feel like you have done a great job, while still helping you see what you can improve upon. I have never had an art class that I enjoyed more." - Randi Moran   "You are a wonderful teacher, we have so enjoyed your class!" - Ami Aldrich-Clemson "Thanks again for some GREAT feedback and pointers in my paintings. You are a fabulous teacher! I look forward to the next class." - Susan Daum
