Kimberly Abbott
Among the featured artists is Kimberly Abbott at Booth H14. Kimberly is a contemporary abstract painter based in New York City. She began her visual arts career early and is self-taught.

Kimberly’s abstract paintings show a dynamic play of shapes and colors. Each piece invites viewers to experience emotion through vibrant forms. She often starts with colors or shapes but lets the painting evolve naturally. This fluid process makes her artwork feel alive and personal, like a visual journal.
Visitors to Booth H14 will find a collection of bold, colorful paintings that reflect Kimberly’s passion and skill. Her pieces vary in size and style, suitable for many spaces and tastes. Meeting Kimberly gives guests insight into her inspirations and technique, enriching their appreciation of abstract art.
