I make paintings that are full of vibrant color, sparkle, and shine that will jump through hoops for you, belt out a show tune, dance the cha cha, hold a yoga pose, do cartwheels, somersaults, and all kinds of other tricks to command your attention for a magical moment and then just be present in that moment with you.
Each piece in my collection is an original work created by me with resin and mixed media. Please contact me directly if you see something you like or would like to commission a custom piece.

About me
Statement
I am inspired by natural shapes, crystals, the moon, ebb, flow, friendship, and the cycle of life. This work allows me to live in the moment and provides both an anchor and escape. When I am working on a piece I feel in the moment and when I am not I am planning and plotting my next piece. I used to be an oil painter and shortly after college closed the door on art and began a corporate career. After the loss of a dear friend and a collection of other life events, I felt a powerful pull to return to art. Making this art stirs my soul and makes me feel a spark of life. I am so grateful to have found my way back.
Bio
I am originally from Greater New Orleans, Louisiana and have been living in Western Washington since 2000. I have a degree in Fine Arts from LSU and history with oil painting and abstract landscapes. I recently I became obsessed with working with resin and fluid art and haven’t looked back. My art is inspired by natural shapes, crystals, the moon, ebb and flow, friendship, and the cycle of life. My studio is located in the Lake City area of Seattle.
Art Collection: The pieces on this site are only a portion of my work. All pieces are original and one of a kind, made with non-toxic resin, acrylic, ink and mica pigments. Some items are embedded with glass, stone, crystals, copper, and gold leaf. Prices are dependent on materials used and time spent making these unique creations. Please contact Kimberly at kimjohnleo@gmail.com if interested in a piece from this collection or if you would like a custom piece.
