Kim Cole’s talent in art was recognized at the early age of 5 years old when she and her classmates were instructed to draw the apple on the table. Kim’s apple was exactly like the display which took everyone by surprise. Her parents encouraged her gift with colored pencils, crayons and paint sets.

Kim eventually began to build a portfolio and went on to become a professional artist, selling her work all over the country.

Her career did not end there as she took a position as the art teacher for 3 year at an area private school teaching grades K‑12.

Now Kim paints in her home studio. Her favorite medium is oil on canvas. Kim’s style is realism however, she has taken a recent liking to acrylic pours. You will find Kim’s art pieces on display at foodlove café, 2101 Broadway Blvd in Kansas City.
