Kimberly Hoechst

For me, painting is an opportunity to transform fleeting visual experiences, perceptions and memories into something elevated, tangible and more permanent. By organizing color relationships, form, light and shadow into an atmospheric and believable visual experience for the viewer, I seek to convey my point of view and express my sensory response to my surroundings.
My most recent collection of paintings, entitled “Sunny Day Paintings” is an exploration of the play of sunlight on architecture, interior spaces and the landscape. Although the subject matter ranges from densely packed cityscapes to inviting rooms to big skies over open meadows, the palette and hopefully, the optimistic outlook that strong sunlight can evoke are consistent throughout this body of work.
I have been an artist for almost twenty years. I built the foundation of my skills through extensive study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. More recently, I have been engaged in individual critiques with Peter Van Dyck, a Philadelphia-based artist and teacher who was educated at The Florence Academy of Art in Italy. My work with Peter has guided me in my quest to embrace contemporary painting practices and continue to evolve as a painter.
