  • Biography

    If you do not see it, request it!

    HUMAN EXPRESSION. SPIRIT. ENERGY. SPUNK.

    KIMI KAA captivates the beauty of color in separation in time and space. She has a great interest in community and the reflections they create. The fragmented moments they share. The emotions in between spaces, shattered and carried throughout our lives. To notice, to make an account, drives her. KIMI KAA paintings are about the pleasures of being aware of the world around her and telling these stories from many angles. Diving into these shapes and juxtaposition help push between the paint, her subject and experience.


    KIMI KAA was born as Kristine Keller in Maryland on a Sunday. 

    Painter for hire, project based.

Biography

If you do not see it, request it!

HUMAN EXPRESSION. SPIRIT. ENERGY. SPUNK.

KIMI KAA captivates the beauty of color in separation in time and space. She has a great interest in community and the reflections they create. The fragmented moments they share. The emotions in between spaces, shattered and carried throughout our lives. To notice, to make an account, drives her. KIMI KAA paintings are about the pleasures of being aware of the world around her and telling these stories from many angles. Diving into these shapes and juxtaposition help push between the paint, her subject and experience.


KIMI KAA was born as Kristine Keller in Maryland on a Sunday. 

Painter for hire, project based.
