Artist - Kim Diment
Kim Diment is a Northern Michigan artist whose work captures the personality and spirit of the animals she portrays. Her passion for both art and wildlife began early, inspired by time spent exploring the backwaters of the Au Sable River, where she sketched animals and often brought home orphaned creatures. She went on to earn degrees in fine arts and zoology from Michigan State University, blending her two lifelong interests.
Over the years, Kim’s work has been shaped by her love for extensive travel, particularly to Africa and throughout the western United States, where she draws inspiration from diverse wildlife and landscapes.
Today, she is a highly recognized wildlife artist, holding prestigious membership in organizations like the Society of Animal Artists, Artist Renewal Center, National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, and Allied Artist of America. To view more of her artwork visit: www.kimdiment.com
