Often, the subjects aren’t the grand scenes, but more out-of-the-way ones in which a moment’s convergence of atmospheric factors creates a mood. Whether high-contrast or subtle and veiled, the viewer will probably be familiar with many of the scenes and have their own feelings associated with them.
Kim’s style developed naturally without a lot of formal training, and only later in her career did she find her kin in the Tonalists, who created landscape forms with muted, often dark colors and emphasizing ambiance. Through composition and technique, Kim strives for an aesthetically pleasing portrayal. She picked pastels in 1988 and since then, they continue to be her medium of choice, having an immediacy of workability and a soft, impressionistic effect of a scene in the manner in which we see, as a whole, and not down to every detail.
Meet Kim Phillips from noon to 3 p.m. and maybe she will tell you where her favorite quiet spaces are or maybe you will recognize them.
