Kimberly Irons
At Booth H68 this year, discover the remarkable work of metal artist Kimberly Irons. Kimberly’s art stands out for its creative blend of strength and beauty. Each piece begins as raw metal, shaped and welded by hand into forms both bold and intricate. Her sculptures reflect inspiration from the natural world, with curves, waves, and shapes that soften the hardness of steel.
Kimberly is known for her detailed approach and dedication to her craft. She works each piece until the surface shines and the lines flow. Visitors to Booth H68 can see her techniques up close and appreciate the artistry in each creation. Many ask her about the process: how she cuts metal, adds patinas, and turns solid material into expressive works of art.
Her booth draws a mix of collectors and first-time art buyers. Some choose a dramatic statement piece for a garden or entryway. Others find smaller works perfect for shelves or desks. Each item is unique, reflecting Kimberly’s signature style and passion for metalwork.
Entertainment
The Mystic Outdoor Art Festival offers more than art. Live bands and performers fill Mystic River Park with music and energy. Local vendors serve food and drinks, providing snacks for every taste.
