Kim
McCool is an Internationally Certified Porcelain Artist and
Teacher living on a beautiful farm overlooking the
Mississippi River. Her studio is part of her home where she
teaches porcelain painting as well as designs and creates
her own artwork.
In
1997 Kim started seriously studying porcelain art. She
carefully improved her art techniques by becoming a student
of renowned artists. Though she is trained in various
techniques, Kim finds she is continually drawn back to
painting portraits on porcelain.
The
list of Kim’s achievements is impressive. She has been
featured on Public Televisions’ “Creators” series as well as
the video educational series for public schools entitled
“Art with Mr. I”. Her porcelain art is featured in many
private collections throughout the world. Kim's miniature
paintings have been shown in numerous art exhibits around
the country, successfully competing with other forms of art.
"An
artist who combines exceptional talent with unbridled
enthusiasm is a golden discovery. Kim McCool, known
internationally for her fine porcelain painting, is just
such an artist. Not only does she produce glorious
pieces in classical styles and portraiture, but also
raises this artform into the ether of bold, contemporary
design. Whether you are a collector or a student at one
of her workshops, Kim's delight in the arts and in
sharing it with others will capture your creative
spirit." - Nancy Senn, Art Educator and Reviewer
"It's a challenge," she says. "A lot of the old techniques
are in danger of being lost because they aren't written
down. Porcelain painting is a tradition steeped in
exactness and discipline. It is through loving patience and
a dedication to practice that I am able to create the
intricate brush patterns, both historical and contemporary.”
