KIm Dutton

Oil Painting, muralist, decorative artist 

"I have a passion for the alchemy of paint to transform a surface into something beautiful. With just a brush, I turn canvases into a lush landscape, a wall Into a magical new world, white doors become oak or mahogany, and plaster columns turn into marble."
