Kim Foster works in a variety of media: watercolor, oil, pencil, color pencil, ink, charcoal, ceramics, jewelry design, bead weaving, and even digital media such as photography and movies. As you see from her work, nature is her biggest inspiration. Creating art is essential in balancing her everyday life and spiritual happiness. Her favorite place to be creative is outside enjoying a spring morning painting flowers from her own garden or throwing clay vases on her wheel in the summer's midday.
The artist specializes in custom watercolor painting, particularly of historic homes and of architectural landscapes. She captures the vibrant life of the people who live in these houses and is known to paint the owner’s pets into the paintings. Cats can be seen peering out the windows of their owner’s home while dogs lay in the front yards or sleep on the porches. Every painting is saturated with details that make each home unique. Being an avid gardener, the artist enjoys painting the meticulous greenery and flowers in their gardens.
The artist was born in Elkhart, IN and moved to the St. Louis metro area after receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts from William Woods University in Fulton, MO and her Masters in Education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She has been teaching art since 1991 and is currently teaching at Kirkwood High School. Along with her art, she enjoys gardening, cooking, swimming, traveling, and walking her dogs.
