Kim Walker is an internationally recognized artist, mother of four, grandmother of nine, and loving wife. Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kim has spent her adult life in Arizona helping with her husband's business and volunteering at her children's schools. Her children grew up to be teachers, an entrepreneur, and a nurse.
Kim's son Robby began attending community college at age 9. While transporting him to and from college, Kim decided to attend classes herself. She became the first person in her family to receive a degree - a B.F.A. in painting - and had the unique experience of taking some classes with her son.
Since then, Kim has developed a unique style of painting that incorporates pressed flowers and natural elements. Kim's art, a reflection of the beauty and inspiration of nature, is represented in galleries and juried and invitational exhibits nationwide and is included in private, corporate, and municipal collections all over the world.

When you look at my artwork, please realize you are looking at not only paint but also actual botanic elements from nature. My paintings are intended to be a reverent reflection of the beauty and inspiration and lessons from nature. In addition to acrylics and various paint mediums I collect and press natural elements such as leaves, petals, ferns etc. and incorporate them in my art. I write an original poem on the back of each piece as a further expression of my gratitude for these amazing gifts. I compose my art on birch panels with basswood sides. Some of my compositions are custom-framed and some have two-inch gallery wrapped sides. Each image on this site is an original and available for purchase. I do also offer paper, canvas, and metal print options for sale. For pricing information please contact me via e-mail, kim@kimwalkerart.com

Conversations between
Me and me
And no one else
Find refuge in my mind.

LIGHT OF DAY
There were things I dared not say
Worries seemed destined to stay
Until the clouds drifted away
And revealed the light of day.

NOT ALONE
I say two you and to myself
I need time alone
Alone to think and to not think
And I walk
And I listen
And I look
And I realize
I am never alone
And my heart is happy.

Up through the ocean's atmosphere
Into the light of day.
