Kimberly Tucker lives and makes her art on the Canadian shield in the village of Apsley, Ontario. Her daily interaction with the natural world is part of what informs her work as she hikes the woods with her sight hounds. She finds inspiration in her surroundings, often it may be something as small as the mound of green moss she has stepped on in passing, and taking a moment to watch as it recovers from her footprint.
Kimberly is beguiled by both the smallest intricacies and the manner in which they are interwoven to create the whole. While her creative process may take the form of sculpture, felting, assemblage or collage Kimberly’s concept invariably probes the interrelationship between humanity and nature.
In 2013 Kimberly graduated with honours from the Visual and Creative Arts Program at Haliburton School for Art and Design and has since pursued further studies in felting. She has shown her work in both private and public art galleries nationally and in the United States, including the Art Gallery of Mississauga, Agnes Jamieson Public Art Gallery, Thames Art Gallery, Quest Art Gallery and the British Columbia Craft Council.
