Fine Art by Kim Granstrom

I am interested in the innocence of nature. My paintings are meant to be encouraging and optimistic in the same way nature can be. I want to interpret plants in a way we recognize but in a way we don’t always notice. The details of the shapes are elegant and signify the individuality in each plant. I experiment with many different mediums, including fabric and embroidery, to give each new work a sense of life and individuality to each piece.

I live in Chicago and grew up in the Midwest. My education is in design, my day job involves digital imaging and photography, but my mind will always be with nature and animals. Making my artwork allows me to explore nature. I am lucky to have a job I enjoy and I believe this freedom contributes to the optimistic attitude that comes across in my work.

Buying artwork directly from a living artist or artist’s representative rather than a big box store helps support the very important and almost lost profession of being a fine artist.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
