My name is Kimberly Thurston - I am an artist.

Thank you for visiting the K-Gal Studio website, an online showcase of my work. In the site you will see the progression of my work from 2003 to pieces in my current series titled From Behind the Tree.

After several years of successful work in arts management with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, I decided to leave the traditional work setting in 2004 to paint full-time and build K-Gal Studio.

I am honored to have work showing in homes and businesses internationally. While I focus on commissioned paintings, I've been fortunate to be involved in projects and collaborations with the Canadian Broadcast Company, Levi Strauss & Co., and GenArt.
