My Story

Kim SImmel is a registered nurse who has taken care of the sick for 36 years. She was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1970. She is a self-taught intuitive abstract expressionist who works in mixed - media acrylic, oil pastel and digital art.

While Kim was taking her nursing courses in college, she decided to take a watercolor class because an art course was required for her Bachelor’s degree. She had to teach herself from home with no face to face instruction. She felt very comforted by picking up a brush. Painting provided an escape from her mindful frustrations of life. She completed the class and continued on with her nursing degree while never picking up a brush again. Years later at the age of 48, Kim felt that she’d lost her purpose in life. She decided to try acrylic painting because she remembered that picking up that brush years ago gave her a great emotional release.

Kim studied for a few years online, not realizing her voice until a recent spiritual awakening that emerged through one of her paintings. Since then she understands what type of artist she is and her divine calling. In October 2021, she took the plunge and built her own art studio, which she calls her sanctuary. Kim is a painter with no proposal in mind until her intuitive soul is revealed on canvas.

Kim’s inspiration comes from meditation and connecting with the divine realm. Her artwork shows the spiritual significance of sacred geometry and color. Sacred geometry and color are what create the balance of mind, body and spirit.

Kim’s mission is to give back to the universe while comforting her audience with her abstract paintings. Kim shows no fear of bringing her art to the public. as it reminds her of hope and faith that can be seen from a higher consciousness and self-awareness while in the midst of discovering her own self.
