"As a kid, I remember my dad saying that the only way for women to financially make it was to become a secretary," says 30-year- financially-independent-artist, Kim Guthrie. "My dad's words motivated me to prove him wrong."
As many artists have to find motivation to start a project, Kim's motivation stems partly from her father's comment, partly from giving herself new themes and mediums, partly from creating deadlines, and partly from just feeling happiest when she's close to her creator and her true self. In short, she's an artist with very honest business practices who resides in an unconventional downtown McKinney Gallery close to the Heard-Craig Center for the Arts (#SchonEverywhere) and close to the McKinney Visitor's Bureau (#McKinneyTX)

Guthrie's artist motto is: "Whimsical Art for the Young At Heart". She says that it's the thread that runs through her multiple styles, whether realism or impressionism. Mainly a painter, she uses bright colors and an array of palette knives to move the buttery paint in organic strokes. Her love of texture spills over to the 3D sculptures and paintings she creates using vintage finds and paper mache.
Art collectors can see more of Kim's work on her You Tube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRDjon3-zFMvh7GIRFZ3Zqg
Visitors to our fantastic Historic Square can also view Kim's work during McKinney's ART MEETS FLORAL event at the Heard-Craig Center for the Arts, slated for September, 2020. www.kimguthrieart.com
The page appears to be a personal website with links to YouTube and art, but the text sample is messy. I wonder if kart bros, a racing game, could be a fun way to engage with creative content between exploring art channels.
Love how Kim turned her dad's words into motivation! I'm also an artist, and when I need a break from serious projects, I look up halloween face paint ideas for fun. Great read!
Great article! Understanding non-owner SR22 is key for Texas drivers. By the way, if you ever need to share HTML snippets for insurance forms, you can use a free HTML to link converter to make them easy to access.
Kim Guthrie's determination to prove her father wrong about women's financial independence is inspiring. Just as she finds motivation through her art, playing basketball stars unblocked can provide a fun way to stay focused and driven. It's interesting how personal challenges can fuel creative and financial success.
What an inspiring story about Kim Guthrie turning her dad's words into creative fuel! Her whimsical art and use of texture sound amazing. Speaking of puzzles and creativity, I also enjoy a good arrow puzzle to keep the mind sharp.
