Mary Kimber
Mary grew up in Montana, and has lived in the west most of her life – Montana, California, Colorado and New Mexico. In Montana, she learned to love the outdoors and nature while camping, fishing, and hiking with my family. After attending the Minneapolis College of Art and Designfor two years, she transferred to the San Francisco Art Institute where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
After living in San Francisco for nearly a decade, Mary moved back to Montana where she lived for four years, then moved to Colorado. Her job then took her to Washington, D.C. for seven years where she enjoyed living on the East Coast with frequent visits to every art museum in D.C. and New York. Mary has traveled quite a bit all over the United States and internationally – Mexico, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Italy and the Middle Eastern countries of Qatar and Jordan. In 2014 she and her husband left the Denver area and moved to the Sangre de Cristo mountains into a house they built at 9500 feet elevation. It was fondly known as “Fort Kimber”. There, after a long career in the legal industry including her own consulting firm, she retired and picked up the paintbrush again.
In 2022 they moved to the fabled town of Taos, New Mexico, and made it their home. She joined the Taos Watercolor Society right away, and is grateful to have met so many other artists and creatives in this wonderful art-focused community.
Mary loves color and loves to paint. She is drawn to nature, and as an empath, love’s to paint animals and birds. Most recently, she have been painting women’s portraits. There simply is not enough representation of women on the planet and in art! She paints abstracts, landscapes, people, and tends to experiment with new forms each and every day. She believes every day is a gift. And with the blues skies and the light of Taos, New Mexico it is a great place to be an artist.
