I have enjoyed working with fabric and thread all of my life. The quilt came to be my medium of choice in the 90s. I specialize in quilted art that will hang as an art piece on a wall. Natural beauty and people are my inspirational focus. Fabric collage and painted textiles are used to achieve the finished artwork. Experimenting with new methods is part of my style.
I’m fortunate to have had my quilts in many juried shows and exhibitions, both locally and nationally. Some of my quilts have been sold to private collectors, and one large piece to the National Quilt Museum.
It is my pleasure to teach about and exhibit my artwork pieces.
Several quilts have been featured in quilt art magazines. I have written two method books: "Mosaic Picture Quilts", 2007, and "Fabric+Paint+Thread=Fabulous", 2009. Both books are available on my website.

I take inspiration from nature and my work is organic in substance, yet my sculpture is not about anything. It is rather a study of form, light and shadow, the relationships of parts, created space, and color. Distilling perception to its essence, these studies and the contrast of materials and textures play central roles in my work. Simplicity, reduction and absence work together to accomplish my goals. I seek to provoke and encourage open interpretation of my work. Currently developing sculpture in a variety of materials including stone, wood, and fiber, Barbara has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows. Her award winning sculptures are in collections across the United States and Mexico.

I currently donate my photography to Food for People for their newsletter and also donate the cover image for their gift cards: Christmas, Mother’s Day. I photograph for them special events like the Cowboy Convoy Food Drive. Annually I receive a press pass and follow and photograph the kinetics and For the Glory which can be viewed at KHUM. I make posters for participants of the kinetic race. I participate in alternative galleries to take art to businesses.Artist Statement: I love photography and, through this media, exploring new connections with all aspects of life on this planet. I was born on the island of Adak in Alaska and love Alaska’s wild beauty, which I visit often, to photograph. I am an avid traveler and have combined it with photography all of my adult life. I enjoy hiking and am in a hiking group that hikes weekly, taking me to new areas to explore and photograph. I am a long-time Humboldt County, CA resident and love the diversity of beauty in Humboldt. Where else can you live in a temperate climate, where there are redwoods, dunes, bays, lagoons, wildlife refuges, sloughs, wetlands and miles and miles of unspoiled beaches and rivers? Along with this amazing landscape comes a diversity of animals that are always fun to capture in an image. I am interested in keeping up with the latest technology in photography by reading, and taking workshops and classes. I am a student forever in this changing world. I strive to capture, in my photography, my love of this amazing planet and share it with you.

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

For me, creating art is a way of telling stories.

I mainly use recycled materials, mainly wood which I saw into different forms-sometimes raw, sometimes painted.

I also incorporate various found objects to fill in a particular scene I am working on.

I enjoy sculpture as a form of expression as I never see things in my minds eye as a flat surface but rather I see things as a kind of hologram or 3D image.

Really I want my pieces to be interactive and I would love for the viewer to get lost in the story or environment that I have created.

I have been through many cycles and stages of experimentation with my work through the years, including metalsmithing and jewelry making, ceramic arts, painting, and mixed media sculpture.

My education has been receiving a Fine Arts Degree from WWU and also many extended education courses where I further developed my skills in both metals and ceramics.

I am deeply inspired by many contemporary and Modern Artists such as Picasso, Miro, and Salvador Dali to name a few.

It seems everywhere I look I find endless inspiration in life and nature also.

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.

The visual arts have always been an important means of expression for me. One of my earliest art memories is of a 1st grade teacher's enthusiastic response to my crayon drawings. I was always drawing as a kid and in college, my area of interest was in drawing and printmaking. My formal education concluded with a degree in Art from Humboldt State University in 1973.

I worked at a community art center after graduating and have fond memories of the people I met and the experiences I had there. The next four years I worked as a letterpress printer in a small shop where I designed many of the jobs that I printed. I began my career as a freelance illustrator in 1981 when I moved to Seattle and made the rounds with a portfolio of newly created airbrush art. While working with advertising agencies, design studios and publishers, I illustrated a wide range of subjects and ideas which was a wonderful learning experience. It wasn’t unusual to meet with an art director in the afternoon and work the rest of the day and night on a project that was due first thing in the morning. When everything worked and the client was happy, it was very satisfying. In 1997, after watching the new work being created by computer artists, I began working with digital media and have never looked back. I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with many talented artists and design professionals in the Pacific Northwest and many large northwest and national corporations.

In 2006 I returned to Eureka on California’s beautiful north coast where I am originally from. In 2013, I moved once again to Crescent City, CA which is on the coast about 20 miles south of the California- Oregon border. I am now concentrating on my own art and am retired from commercial work. My studio is now centered around my iMac and iPad. I believe using computers and digital printers to produce art is a natural progression in fine art printmaking. I produce my own monoprints or limited edition prints on archival fine art paper with an eight color pigment inkjet printer. In addition to my art, I enjoy cycling and converting my rural yard into a redwood forest.
