ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Kim Mosley is a contemporary alchemist. Her sculptures and images on canvas explore sensuality in form and serenity.

Kim's life purpose began at an early age. As a child she excelled in drawing, perfecting her vision of reality. Her style took a sharp turn when surrealistic images seemed the only escape from the internal turmoil of adolescence. This young woman's love for art led her in the fine art department at UCSC. However, it was her adventurous spirit that took her to Indonesia for an intensive art program.

Indonesia was much more than experimenting with techniques and mastering creativity; it was a life altering experience. The pressures of perfection in a rigorous art program and the challenges of being a minority in a foreign culture, forced Kim to look within for strength and inspiration. Her journey inward was the profound awakening of her inner spirit.

Through this spiritual guidance she began looking at the world through aesthetic eyes and her brush strokes started capturing life's subtle beauty. This opened a world of creative possibilities and gave her a strong sense of self-confidence and independence.

Kim’s love for stone sculpture then took her Pietrasanta, Italy to study under master sculptors and there she truly learned the art of sculpting anatomy.

Kim's current body of work represents such possibilities and serves as proof of her integrity to honestly portray the inner peace within herself and her subjects.

This artist has transcended her critical voice without compromising the quality of her work while thoroughly enjoying the meditative process of her art.

Stone carving fulfills her physical need to create form, however, it is her inner spirit which brings forth the true beauty of each stone.

Kim Mosley sees God's serenity in all of her subjects and if she can help other people discover and appreciate the beauty of their own spirit through her art than she knows she has succeeded in serving her purpose as a fine artist, as an alchemist.
