After my Masters in Art in 1989, I worked as an sculptor creating indoor/outdoor female, figurative sculptures for a total of 15 years. I created many of my sculptures form Ferro-cement. Others are made of Wood or Clay. In 2008 I shifted to 2D and began painting with Pastels . 3 years later, Oils on Canvas. At the same time my subject matter changed, from the figure, to the landscape that surrounds me from my home in Northern California and beyond and, varies from water scenes and trees to wildlife and birds. Ultimately, regardless of my medium, subject matter or, muse, my goal has been, from the beginning, to express the passion, and joy I feel for nature in all it's glory and beauty.HAC Member Since: 2009

Kim Reid's lifetime interest in art began in childhood, then on to university studying fine art, art history and design.  Many years were invested in a large aircraft company as technical illustrator and graphic designer.
 
Her ever-expanding repertoire of watercolor paintings and limited edition prints are displayed in many local galleries and venues in Humboldt, the most popular collection being the redwood forests of the Pacific Northwest and Lost Coast. (KimARTandDesign.com)  She is working on a series of portraits of the most iconic ancient redwoods, for example: Luna, The Corkscrew Tree, Giant Tree, Big Tree and Big Red.  She wants to extend her gallery reach into Mendocino County.  Other works by Kim include euro castle history (CastleColors.com), ancestral villages and California Missions (MissionPaintings.com). Larger viewing of these portfolio images are available on these gallery websites. Capturing nature in landscapes and history has inspired all her painting collections. She is very glad to be showing and selling her work through Humboldt Artists Gallery in the Morris Graves Museum of Art.

Kim has created a series of relief sculptures called ReefLife. They are painted with acrylics and placed in plexi-glass boxes.

Retiring from the field of education in 1998, I chose to take the journey into the world of the fine arts using watercolor as my choice of medium.Painting gives me a fresh and in-depth perspective while looking and people, places, objects and form.  I enjoy painting whatever catches my eye-be it the color, subject matter, or design.  The inspiration to paint comes from the continual challenge for personal and artistic growth. Our world is ever changing, and each painting is a record of a moment in time.  Whether preserving a local landscape, recording my travels, or capturing an interesting composition, I enjoying sharing with the viewer my interpretation and style through each piece of art I create.Locally I have exhibited and won awards at the Redwood Art Association show, Humboldt Co. Fair, have shown at The Ship’s Inn, Eureka, and was a partner in the Irish Roots show at the Ferndale Arts Gallery.I am a member of the Redwood Art Assn., Representational Art League and the Humboldt Arts Council.

Creating art has been part of Julia's life since she was a small child. Nature is her inspiration; from the beauty of a flower or a landscape, to the power and majesty of a rock formation or the charm and mystery of a cat. She works in watercolor, acrylic or oil... painting in an impressionistic or realistic style, depending on the subject and her emotional response to it. Painting is her way of experiencing the beauty and wonder of nature and sharing that experience.

Julia serves on the Board of Directors of the Redwood Art Association and the Humboldt Arts Council and is active in several art groups, including the Representational Art League and the Fortuna Arts Council.

Julia maintains an art studio at her home where she lives with several cats, strays who came from the gully to live with her and who often become subjects of her paintings. Her studio is open by appointment during the year.

According to ancient Chinese philosophy...to make art good enough to enter people's hearts is called "making stone into gold". That has become Julia's mission and her mantra.
