Kymberly Kuenning is a Cincinnati-based artist who embraces the use of sfumato from her oils to describe nature’s vibrancy and mystery. She explores the use of Tonalism and Disrupted Realism to create a story left ambiguous to her viewers while leaving them with a sense of appreciation for the undefined and surreal environment that surrounds them.
Kym is a graduate of The Ohio State University. She served as a teacher, a nurse, then a journalist before retiring and taking up the brush. Her paintings portray the universe before it experienced the human footprint, sacred, pristine, and begging for an artist to remember it. She finds her motivation, in part, from a quotation of Leonardo da Vinci that advices the painter to not just see the landscape but the eternity that lies beyond it.
