Kim's Philosophy -

I just want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.
I want to do it all on my own.
Then I will have nobody to blame.
I make my own clay.
That way it's always available.
I come up with my own ideas.
So I will never be accused of stealing.
If it's important, I find the time.
If it isn't, I find an excuse.
Sometimes I can be sarcastic.
But I'm fair all of the time.
I am a self taught artist and sculptor.
But I was a self taught wife and mother too.
I can't sing, but I do it anyway.
I love what I do and I do what I love and
I do it to the best of my ability.
And I will keep doing it until I can't do it anymore.

Kim sure does ... "Folk Art from the Heart"
