About the Artist...

Kim Hogan has lived in Capitola for three years. She is the mother of two grown children, Amanda and Hunter and the loving partner to Michael Termini, a long-time friend to Capitola.

It was a rough patch in life that led Kim to take a painting class. There was no knowledge of any talent at the time. It was just a diversion to add something into her life. Beginning in watercolor the first painting was surprisingly good. The second that followed was better. A little over two years later Kim has accumulated a small collection in both watercolor and oil that includes portraits, flowers, beach scenes, etc.

“Painting has truly changed my life. So often I stand back and look at a piece I’ve just finished and burst into tears at the realization that it came out of me. This journey, which almost never happened because I didn’t have the money at the time to afford the paint, has been an amazing adventure.”
