Kimberly Santini Set

Animal shaped vessels holding fragments of landscape speak to generations of memory and space, told from a non-human viewpoint. This is the distinctive work of painter Kimberly Kelly Santini.

“I have always felt more in tune with animal companions than humans,” she says, and that is apparent in her art. A daily painter since 2006, Santini weaves fragments of her dreams into natural elements pulled from everyday experiences, then gently cradles them inside the cavity of a four legged vessel. A rabbit shaped snowglobe holds the birth of spring while sitting inside a wintery woodscape. A skyhole pocked fox exhales dancing golden gingko leaves. Her animals are otherworldly, looking at the viewer with a deep awareness while  whispering their narrative.

Santini uses intuitive, direct painting, infusing her art practice with joy and intention. She is a generous instructor, leading students (online and in person) on mastering technique along with identifying and discovering ways to make art that feels relevant and distinctively their own. Her work is uniquely recognizable and eagerly collected worldwide, garnering many honors and awards over the years, including a commission as the official artist of the 2015 Kentucky Derby. 

In addition to daily painting from her home studio for over 25 years, Santini runs an online student membership, is part of an intimate critique group with a 40 year history, and is a voracious reader who cultivates dahlias, zinnias and heirloom roses. She calls the thumb area of Michigan home where she, her husband and menagerie of rescue pets live just close enough to their adult children and extended family.
