“I have been collecting Kim’s art from the day I first saw one of her paintings. Vibrant, colourful & full of meaning. I have several pieces in my homes, they all capture personal moments as well as being paintings everyone comments on & loves. Truly gifted & original, Kim’s work is contemporary & beautiful.”

“I asked Kim to paint my romance.
The finished painting is more wonderful than I thought possible.
It makes me smile
every single day”.
— E. Bath
“Kim’s paintings feel like colours from your fantasies; a balance of just enough chaos with equal measure of calm. A euphoria of reality meets fairy-tale, the expressions, the beautiful features of Kim’s of fearless characters, a glimmer of sharp wit shining through.”
— S. Somerset
“If holidays are all about happy memories, then Frome artist Kim Paterson is certainly a keeper and provider of dreams.
Her joyful representations of time spent in Cornwall, Barcelona and Portland, for example, assault the senses with colour, humour, iconic symbolism and factual data. Such work not only pleases the eye but also invites curiosity about the subject matter.
Commissions are vivid interpretations of others’ experiences – fed to the artist via conversation, photographs and local knowledge of the area – from which she creates stories to be told and retold.
An eclectic range of influences (Matisse, Modigliani, Munch for example) spring to mind and the informed eye can enjoy the mischievous playfulness of the artistry.
Just as travel broadens the mind, these surrealistic paintings fuel the imagination and take us on an extraordinary journey very well-worth undertaking.”
