On Being a Collected Artist-Kim Rowlett

"It is wonderful to know that many people all over the world enjoy both my original work and prints, so much that I have had many repeat buyers over the years"! They are kind enough to encourage me with many compliments, and I always appreciate their insights".

On Photography

"I have been taking photographs for many years. I remember riding down the road on my bike, when I was younger, snapping pictures at whatever was interesting, in color and/or black&white.  People ask me why I have never "focused in" on taking photos of people as my subjects more! Well, I cannot say I never find people interesting...but living in a rural country area, sometimes I would find myself taking photos of everything from old houses, that had been abandoned, to flowers, to wildlife. Sometimes a close up of a beer can crumpled on the road, was also interesting. Subjects are everywhere!" -KIMBERLY ROWETT

Favorite Art Materials

From time to time people ask me about the kinds of paints I buy, what medias I like to use,etc. However, I use whatever is good quality, and accessible.  Depending on the store I am visiting, I look at their selections, and note the prices offered. Of course, if they happen to have the kinds of paints I need on sale, I purchase those. I will occasionally try a new brand of paints, pastels,etc., out to see how it performs. Sometimes it has been well worth it, other times not. If you also produce art, as a hobby or profession, my advice is to experiment with what works for you, sometimes it really does lead you to a new understanding of what works best! 

New Kim Rowlett Art Cafe IS OPEN on ETSY

The Kim Rowlett ART CAFE is open on ETSY! I created this gallery to be more like a simple outdoor french sidewalk art exhibit.

I have a new shop on ETSY!

The Kim Rowlett ART CAFE is not open on Etsy! It is a site that fills a need for "art lite"...more substantial art is on my Yessy site!

Selling Art,Prints without Middlemen is often best!

It is often best to sell art, and prints, yourself if you are in the arts business, or sell directly to resellers, making sure your recover enough, to cover costs!

Painted Collage by Kim Rowlett

This is one of many art collage that I have done over the years. I sometimes take paintings from other projects, and use them for other purposes, such as making an art collage, or for use in other kinds of art and craft projects.

Activity in TN

Great to go swimming.....weather getting warm! After the tornadoes came through, it is nice to have a change of pace!
