Testimonial - Jami and Tim W.

"Our piece, titled New Life 1997, was given to my wife and I as a wedding present from an attendee.  The work clearly spoke to us of our new life together and hinted at the journey ahead that would be filled with love and joy, hardship and heartache, but was one that we both absolutely desired.  In it, we saw ourselves united, but also a glimpse of the family we would become.  It was our most prized gift that day and still stirs our
feelings."

Testimonial - Jennifer A. O'Brien
"My painting is called mon corps, mon coeur. I wrote Kimberly Thurston a note, asking her for a painting of 'my body and my heart — my dripping , flaming, faithful heart.' She asked me what I meant by that... and I talked... then she painted. I feel as though I offered her a glimpse of my heart and soul, she handled them with tremendous care and created a depiction of my essence with greater accuracy and depth than I knew existed."
With faith and gratitude,

Testimonial - Margaret
"Woman succeeds in creating a veritable range of emotions — everything from rapture to rage and from exhilaration to despair. As an artist, Kimberly Thurston reaches into depths of being and through all her feeling is able to verbalize emotions with brushstrokes. It is Woman's sense of humanity that makes it so poignant to the viewer."
— Margaret
Testimonial - C. Walker

Kimberly Thurston’s paintings grace three rooms in our house, each
Representing different periods of her work on the human figure. I am curious about these characters and ask: who are you? what do you want? what have you lost? And they mirror these questions back to me: And, who are you? What visions do you have? Art gives my house a story and informs, in startling ways, how I shift the gaze and direction of my life.

Testimonial - Heidi and Charlie

It is truly exceptional to possess a piece of art that speaks with new energy and continues to inspire with each viewing.  This joy is ours through owning one of Kimberly Thurston's "Reclining Nudes."  Our painting reflects the fire, love and sensitivity of the artist and her great capacity to express a unique voice through paint and canvas. While words fail to describe real artistic impact, anyone who experiences Kimberly's art will no doubt understand the feeling of being drawn into a marvelous world which is both hers and the observer's to share.
