Kim McDonald

With vibrant colors, an intensely personal style, whimsical borders, and a touch of fantasy, Kim McDonald’s oil paintings express the exotic island spirit of the South Pacific. Her art accentuates the ever-changing moods of island weather, lush foliage, and the deep sensuality of the Polynesian people.

The rich textures and loose brush strokes of this celebrated and innovative artist are reminiscent of the post-impressionists and Fauve tradition. Her art captures the unspoiled island way of life in a style descended from tropical Gauguin. The colorful images awaken memories in the viewer of a time when the world was a gentler, safer place.

Kim resides on Maui where she paints on her lanai overlooking the slopes of Haleakala and the Pacific Ocean.
