BCAC July Artist of the Month

Posted June 26, 2016 11:00 pm

Submitted by Barrington Cultural Arts Center The Barrington Cultural Arts Center (BCAC) will feature the paintings of Kimberly Butts at the BCAC Ga

Kimberly started teaching art to children and adults in 2001. She was awarded 2014 Illinois Elementary Art Educator of the Year by the Illinois Art Education Association.

Along the way Kimberly has had the pleasure of exploring so many wonderful art materials and techniques. Among her favorites are needle felting and repousee´ (embossed metal). Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) have become another of her favorite formats for artistic expression because they are so portable and she can create them in any medium.

Scuba diving opened her eyes to the wonders of the sea, which has inspired a great number of her creations. When needle felting, birds are her favorite subject matter. They just lend themselves so well to that medium.

Kimberly is currently exhibiting in the Barrington area through the Barrington Cultural Arts Center.

More of her artworks can be found at kimberlybutts.com.
