WELCOME TO THE HEART OF MY LOUISIANA STUDIO!
Rich in color and detail, paintings and sculptures by Kim Howes Zabbia come from her subconscious.
Many remain abstract while some lean toward a recognizable "feel".
"As a working artist, I allow subject matter to evolve from within...unplanned, free, limitless. As a result, accidental realism peeks through layers of color and form as I hope to inspire viewers of all ages to embark on an exciting scavenger hunt of images."
“When I work, the paint and I are in constant dialogue. I have my ideas; the paint has her own. Without this silent discourse, the concept cannot be resolved, so the painting waits to be completed at a later date whenever I decide to surrender. It takes strength on my part to let the paint win, not to judge or second-guess it, because I know that the paint will reveal my lifelong struggle between freedom and control and the depths of my subconscious which I would prefer to hide.” Kim Howes Zabbia
