Description

Kim Rody Creations Fisartista cracker and dip divided dish set including rectangular porcelain tray and four square mini bowls, each decorated with a different tropical sea creature / fish. Microwave and dishwasher safe.

Kim Rody-Kopp has been a professional fine art painter since 2000, when she dropped out of the corporate world to paint full time. She began gaining a following in South Florida and the Bahama Islands by painting large, colorful and dramatic canvases of fish, turtles, palm trees, and all things tropical, and became known over the last decade as the “fishartista”.

Artist’s Statement

I’ve always been connected to the sea. Since my very first painting classes, I concentrated on painting fish and other ocean life. Within a few years I relocated from land locked Dallas, TX, to Atlantic side Florida, and then to the Abacos in the Bahamas, where I spend eight months a year painting in my studio there.

I have evolved from fish, to other sea life, to Bahamian fauna, to Bahamian life. I also “paint where I am” – mountain landscapes in Asheville, NC, blue crabs on the Chesapeake in Maryland, and plein aire paintings when I visit Europe.

So, my subject matter tends to be the visual prompts that surround where I am.

My first approach to my subject matter was to accurately depict the anatomy of sea life. Then I was compelled to paint those creatures in relationship to each other (schools, flocks, groups). After twenty years of painting, I’m finding myself concentrating on the actual act of applying paint onto the canvas, “filling in the holes” and “finding the colors that belong with each other” rather than painting fish fins and turtle shells. I’m currently struggling with painting “unified” paintings using my favorite subject matter and focusing on contrast of light/dark, color composition and drama on the canvas.

ABOUT
Kim Rody-Kopp has been a professional fine art painter since 2000, when she dropped out of the corporate world to paint full time. She began gaining a following in South Florida and the Bahama Islands by painting large, colorful and dramatic canvases of fish, turtles, palm trees, and all things tropical, and became known over the last decade as the “fishartista”.

Living on her boat in Hope Town Harbour in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas, she met and married the sailor on the next mooring, who introduced her to sailing on the Intracoastal Waterway, as well as a log cabin outside of Asheville, NC. Now she paints mountains and trees in the summer in Fairview, and fish and turtles in the winter in the Bahamas. You can find both worlds at this website.

Her work is appealing to clients looking for a dramatic, bright, and colorful feel which pulls the viewer in and under, into the world she loves best, and that few enjoy first-hand. This website showcases hundreds of images categorized by subject. In addition to original art, images are also available as limited editions on heavyweight watercolor paper, open editions on canvas, posters, note cards and holiday cards, and images kiln fired into quality bright white porcelain dinnerware.
