Piece description from the artist
When I moved to Southern California, I was struck by how the sky at sunset was a myriad of colors, how the light bounced off of all the glass buildings and the natural and the man made were intertwined. I was not being able to see the Santa Ana mountains until a clear day in November, and was surprised that the sky had concealed a natural element that was so close to me. The air and the sky had it’s own personality and my mind was always abuzz with the colors and magic of an atmosphere that was a powerful and monumental as a mountain, as bright and imposing as a big glass building.
Danielle Kimzey received a BFA in Studio Art from SMU and an MFA in Painting from the University of Iowa. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and she is represented by Galleri Urbane in Dallas, TX. She has been commissioned for large wall paintings in Costa Rica, Germany, California and Texas. Most recently, she completed a design for a 30 ft living wall of plants for West Palm Beach, FL. She lives in Dallas where she runs The Art Cottage and teaches painting at Brookhaven College.
Her work is a visual exploration of the mental, physical, and physiological mutations we experience through aging, moving to new places, traveling, changing acquaintances, and learning new things. It follows the deeply individual steps along a universal path and examines how our experiences influence who we are.
