Kimberley Eddy
Artist Statement
I am drawn to the ocean; the movement, the colours, the translucency, the depth, the mystery, the power, the quiet. I ache for it all. I incorporate a multitude of media into my art practice to represent the multitude of temperaments of the ocean. When I am immersed in creating a piece of oceany goodness, I feel grounded and centered. I am completely at peace and focused on the present moment. It is the same feeling as being oceanside. Calm and at ease.
I hope for the viewer to open their senses and experience a calm coastal moment of their own. Smelling the fresh sea air. Hearing the waves as they roll onto the seashore, sculpting the contours of the sand. Seeing the movement in the water. Immersing themselves in the adventure and anticipation of their own seaside arrival.
Biography
Kimberley Eddy paints the ocean. She works in resin, acrylics, and mixed media in her studio in Nova Scotia.
Undeniably inspired by her lifelong proximity to ocean waters and coastal living (Bermuda and Nova Scotia), and her passion for travel, Kimberley's artworks are at once a quiet influence and a powerful force at work. Slipping through the barrier of mundane routines, she pulls us into a world of memories and attachments where we slow down, calm our thoughts, and live in the moment; just as she does while working in her studio.
Open your senses and allow a carefree coastal experience to unfold as you experience her work. Smell the fresh sea air. Hear the waves as they roll onto the seashore, sculpting the contours of the sand. Immerse yourself in the adventure and anticipation of your own seaside arrival.
Kimberley's art hangs in collections across Canada and internationally.
