KIM PADULA

Kim is an abstract artist specializing in the ancient art of marbling. Kim floats and manipulates acrylic paint on water thickened by seaweed moss. Adjusting the hues and designs she gently will lay paper, silk, leather, bisqueware or even glass on to the solution transferring the pattern to the surfaces.

Over the last decade Kim has helped small boutique firms to large corporations worldwide find their voice through color and movement. Kim’s original pieces enter a whole new world once they are high resolution scanned and leased commercially. Under Kim’s hand, the digital files can be altered into repeating tiles for printing anything under the sun. Lately you’ll find Kim’s marbled patterns at luxury and philanthropic events or on a product or brand packaging.

 

Kim's studio and gallery are located in the Chattahoochee National Forest of Northeast Georgia, USA. Kim works side by side with her husband, potter Cody Trautner, of Hickory Flat Pottery.
