Born and raised in Atlanta, Kim Shockley Karelson has been an artist for as long as she can remember, but received her formal artistic training at The University of Georgia. Kim has always had a fascination and a reverence for the Southern landscape and a concern for the disappearing wilderness. Her painting process begins with the taking of a series of photographs of a given subject. She then composes a painting based upon one or more of the photographs. She uses oil paints applied to wood, often letting parts of the underlying drawing showing through.
