LOVE the "fresh wave of creative energy—ready to do, make, and go! Life, it seems, is serving up a deliciously unexpected second act." Definitely feel that in this messy middle!

Just discovered the very cool significance of the 8H. It is what it says but it's actually also Studio 8H where Paul McCartney and The Beatles recorded all their most famous songs. Awesome!

I've written one novel and drew it's first original book cover. Finding a groove is writing or painting or doing both about what you think and care about most. And Virginia Woolf was always surrounded by great artist friends. Writing and drawing are compatible sensibilities that can create unusual and compelling perspectives so your doing both seems very auspicious.

Kim you paintings are wonderful! Just checked out your website and I’m in love with your Little Women series and the abstracts!

Why thank you! They are my little women series that make me smile... I paint them in conversation with the paintings we see in museums and the male gaze. These are done in response to big sexual women on the walls by a female gaze who just does stuff in an everyday way.

Great interview that is very positive and encouraging. When a person finds their groove as an artist then it seems very likely and possibly that they will find their groove as a writer. One sensibility can fuel the creation of a new one in a different medium.
