Kim Weissenborn / Painter
Biography
Kim Weissenborn is an American painter whose work explores emotional truth, tension, and the subtle currents of human experience. Working primarily in oil, she creates landscapes and figurative paintings that evoke mood, atmosphere, and the quiet complexity of human relationships. Strong composition anchors her work, while layered textures and intuitive gestures allow each scene’s emotional resonance to emerge.
Influenced by the Impressionists and classical painting, Kim balances tradition with discovery. Each piece evolves through a dialogue between artist and canvas, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and engage with the unspoken stories beneath appearances. Her aim is a timeless quality—one that speaks across generations.
Her work has been exhibited across the United States and Europe in both solo and group shows. Recent exhibitions include a solo show at the Jacques Baumel Médiathèque in Rueil-Malmaison (2025), a group exhibition at Atelier Grognard (2022), and multiple juried shows at the Vero Beach Museum of Art, including Place (2015) and Visible Invisible (2023).
Kim has participated in international artist residencies at Château Bonnemare in Radepont, France (2024 and 2025). Three of her paintings were selected by the château’s owners for acquisition and donation, remaining on permanent display.
Beyond painting, Kim illustrated the children’s book Pansy at the Palace. Her work has been featured in the press, including a profile in Vero Beach Magazine (2017).
Through her paintings, Kim invites viewers to inhabit spaces where memory and perception converge. She offers moments of quiet reflection within the ordinary—spaces where emotion lingers and meaning unfolds.
Artist Statement
I paint to capture the quiet poetry of everyday life—whether found in nature, the human form, or the spaces we inhabit.
My landscapes emerge from memory and emotion. They are meditations on light, atmosphere, and the subtle rhythms of the natural world.
My figurative work explores presence and vulnerability. Through soft contours and muted tones, I seek to reveal the inner life of my subjects—their stillness, their strength, their solitude.
Interiors offer yet another lens: intimate spaces where light and shadow shape mood and memory. These rooms, often quiet and unoccupied, speak to the lives lived within them.
Across all subjects, my goal is not to replicate reality, but to evoke a feeling—something familiar yet elusive, like the hush before dawn or the warmth of a forgotten afternoon.
