Welcome to Kim Wiessner Makes Art - A vibrant collection of handcrafted original watercolor work and printed goods. I create modern watercolors imbued with my passion for color, pattern and texture.

Art and painting have been a simmering passion, my entire life. In 2014 I left my travel-heavy career to take a break from that life and stay home with my kids while they were small. This career pause allowed me to rediscover my creative voice through small daily paintings. I created these paintings as part of the #100dayproject with Elle Luna in 2015. I’ve since kicked that creative simmer up to a medium boil and paint as often as life allows while balancing career reentry and family.

My artwork is inspired by pure and vibrant watercolor pigment. My work is positively charged, hard working and thankful. It comes from a place of patience and calm and practice. The creative process of art making represents a true and very honest joy in my life and is meditation for my body and soul. I am a lover of all animals, I love outdoor adventures with my family and I have a mid-century style. I could not live without early morning runs, black coffee, live music and travel.
