Kim Fonder | Artist Feature

April 23, 2024

About the Artist:

Kim Fonder distinguishes herself through a profound appreciation for texture and touch in her paintings. Her artistic endeavors showcase a remarkable commitment to simplicity and timelessness, rendering her work exceptionally suitable for spaces influenced by the principles of wabi-sabi or minimal interiors.

Fonder generally paints for four to five hour stretches in the morning (her favorite time, when she “hasn’t had the experiences of the day yet – the world is fresh”) using combinations of organic materials - hemp, silk, linen, organic pigments and Venetian plaster. She seeks to evoke the calmness and airiness of the natural world and create a tranquil environment through her work. As she says, “Mother Nature makes color better than man ever can...and our eyes instinctively know it.”
