Clio’s Art Collection – Kim Knoll
Inspired by landscapes and influenced by minimalism, I enjoy bringing the outdoors in through painting, in a beautiful, simple and unexpected way. My works on paper are an abstract interpretation of moments and sights from my time spent in nature exploring lakes, mountains, forests and coastlines through hiking and camping. I love living in the city of Chicago, but I often crave adventures in wide open lands that renew my spirit and make me feel at peace. I use these adventures as the inspiration for my work to provide others with a momentary escape from their everyday. Using watercolors, ink, acrylic, and graphite, I think of a positive memory or a landscape I loved and then translate what I saw and felt into paint using contrasting marks and textures. The shapes, colors, and perspective that I recall or imagine inform and guide each painting.

For centuries, Native Americans had camped along Cherry Creek, given the name because of the small chokecherry trees that grew along its banks. This commissioned art is inspired by the lush nature the region offered.
