Kym Thurman
Mixed Media Artist
Kym Thurman lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kym graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2019 from the University of New Mexico with a BFA in Fine Art Studio.
Kym moved to New Mexico in 2015 from the mountains of North Carolina. Kym has lived in five states and two countries. The connections made during the last 30 years while moving around and growing a family has influenced her work with lines representing the way people come together and intertwine. The way people are connected is an ongoing theme in Kym’s work in oils and colored pencils.
”My paintings and drawings start with a solid color field and then I find the line in that color. Each subsequent layer is painted or drawn leaving the original line and any more lines I find along the way. Many times the line that is most prominent is the first line I found in the background. In building my work this way, it resembles that connectedness of humans and how we come together in a beautiful dance of line and color.”
