Statement
Kim Reid's watercolor and illustration gallery: KimARTandDesign.com features the northern California coastal redwoods, giant tree forests, seascape grandeur of the Pacific Northwest inspired these paintings and drawings. She is working on a series of portraits of iconic ancient redwoods. One story particularly has inspired my work is about famous tree Luna. This sequoia semperviren redwood, estimated 1000 years old. Semperviren means 'forever living' in Latin. Luna (AKA Stafford Giant) was saved by the heroic effort of Earth First! and Julia Butterfly Hill in 1997 when she lived on a platform in its branches for 738 days. One year after Julia came down to the ground, Luna was attacked with a chainsaw. Then a great effort ensued to save Luna and heal the wound. Their conservation efforts successfully protect Luna and a 200-foot buffer zone from ever being logged. Kim is a professional freelance graphic artist/designer and illustrator with over 29 years of working, published experience. Her limited edition prints and original paintings are shown and sold primarily through these on-line galleries and Humboldt gallery, gift shop locations. She has also worked in relief sculpture that captures the color and frenzy of an underwater coral reef and this gallery is called ReefLife. Many of these original works are done per customer request. She is happy to provide professional references and customer testimonials upon request. She is looking to expand her gallery exposure to out of state, major cities.
