I'm Kimberley. I am autodidact (a fancy word for self-taught) collage artist. I am obsessed with animals, words, paddleboarding, baking pies, the beach, cheese and creating things with other things.

I consider myself light green and think it is important to remember everything we do affects not only our lives, but also shapes the world around us. Let’s waste less, appreciate more and keep as much out of the landfills as possible. I use only upcycled paper materials in my art.

I love all animals but have a special affinity for dogs. Why? A dog's experience is always new, even after doing something for the 42nd time. They have pure hearts and love unconditionally. I love creating dog portraits because it reminds me to be present and free... like my subjects.

Although she has crossed the rainbow bridge, I was lucky enough to have 14 years of live-in inspiration from my crazy English Cocker Spaniel rescue, Gilligan. The inspiration baton has passed to rescued sisters Hazel and Sunshine.

best. dogs. ever.
