As long as I can remember, art has been a part of my life, be it drawing as a child, learning craft with grandmother, collecting and creating, with my aunties at Sandgate beach, trips to galleries with school, all has led me to have a great passion for art.
My artwork is simply created for all to enjoy, it comes from the heart and each piece is a little bit of me. I love to create atmosphere, mood, emotion, a reaction, in my work. I love using different media and textures but most of all, I love colour! What can I say I am consumed by it! It is my life, my love, my passion, everything about life, nature, people, family, I see art in everything I see and touch. I love to learn to create, to look, to feel, I believe that in all of us, there is an artist waiting to burst out! Perhaps that’s why some of us are collectors, some of us design, some of us are gardeners, cooks, teachers, builders, no matter which way we look, it’s about art! Kim Mancini
Kim's passion for painting expanded with the opening of her gallery in 2003, where she showcases her own and other artists' work, collaborates with interior designers on individual projects and teaches aspiring artists (some of whom are now exhibiting). On commissioned work, Kim has a unique sense of understanding the client and providing them with a prized personalised investment." Michele McKeering |
