Kim. Kreis. Art.

As a Birmingham, Alabama based artist, my “Portfolio” reflects all the various “roads” or life experiences that have brought me to this point. My background is different from others…though in this age and time maybe not so much as before. We begin our careers young and we think it is “set in stone”…I finished my degree /master’s in 4 years and began teaching for over 8. I met my husband and moved to Birmingham. We quickly started a family and I wanted to have a career from home. My business partner and I were founders and designers of Sweet Pea Designs Stationery for 25+ years…we transitioned and SPD is now owned and continues to be distributed by Printswell who guided us through 95% of those years! Post SPD I decided to take my lifelong passion of painting full time and this is my 8th year!

You will see changes in my work through my portfolio which is what we all want on our creative paths and I love that. You are a progress, I am a progress…what a good thing.

What will not change is my love and passion for color, for life, for my family, my friends, and most of all, my faith. It is who I am and what I can not change…you will see it as it matures every day.

As I grow, I hope that some of you will be a part of that…your thoughts, feedback, encouragement are invaluable. For those of you who have collected my art, my gratitude know no boundaries!

For those of you who are thinking about it, buy art that means something to YOU…and perhaps my outlook will align with what you like and how you feel, and what you believe as well! XOXO
