painting instructor laura kimes
Laura Kimes was born and raised in Birmingham, graduated from Birmingham-Southern College,and has been occupied raising her large and busy family for the past 16 years. She's done everything from teaching art to kids after school, to professional organizing, to house flipping. She returned to painting three years ago by taking classes at Red Dot, and began exhibiting and selling her work in the spring of 2009. Her style, which revealed itself to her over the last few years, tends toward realism. Her favorite subject is the human figure, and her recent work has focused on hands and their tasks and significance in our lives. She takes her own reference photos, manipulating light to make strong shadows and highlights, which then become important parts of the overall composition.
