Kim Hill was born and raised in rur­al New Eng­land. She began study­ing with Sid­ney F. Willis, a Boston School artist, at age 16. This expe­ri­ence set in stone her desire to pur­sue and devel­op her life­time love of painting.

Her for­mal edu­ca­tion includes study at the Paier School of Art (Ham­den, CT.), the Amer­i­can Acad­e­my of Art (Chica­go, IL.), and the Ate­lier (Min­neapo­lis, MN.).

Kim is equal­ly gift­ed in work­ing with oil, pas­tel, acrylic and graphite. She cur­rent­ly has mem­ber­ship in the Oil Painters of Amer­i­ca, sig­na­ture mem­ber­ship in Pas­tel Soci­ety of the South­west, and the Amer­i­can Women Artists. Her work is shown at the Dutch Art Gallery, Dal­las, TX, the R.S. Han­na Gallery, Fred­er­icks­burg, TX, and The Frame Up, Tyler, TX. This past year Kim’s work was shown in Oil Painters of Amer­i­ca nation­al com­pe­ti­tion, as well as the Amer­i­can Women Artists nation­al competition.
