About Christa Kimble

I am fascinated by the ephemeral nature of our universe and lived experiences. I create gestural and atmospheric paintings that are abstractions of land, sky and the intangible. Painting on raw canvas, I use thin layers of paint, ink and dyes - accented by gestural mark making in pencil and exuberant splatters of paint. Our interaction with the present moment is a connective thread throughout my work. Creating paintings is a meditative practice with the present moment - where each thought and gesture is recorded on the canvas. I share the physical result of this meditation with viewers of my work. The calming quality of my paintings encourages peaceful introspection.
