| The small examples (left and right) are examples of Kim's commission work. Specializing in bright portraits, Kim is also talented at landscapes and still-lifes. Her work is varied and she is always looking for something new to draw. If you are interested in requesting an original piece of art, please {email} Kim and send a sharp jpeg image as an attachment, describe the size, the story behind the picture,the method of payment, shipping arrangements. She will respond quickly with any questions she may have. She reserves the right to refuse a commission. |
Using Acrylic washes as a base, Kim lays down the
basic colors. She likes a bold and intense foundation in
order to make a rich underpainting that will effect the
upcoming layers.
Once the paint has dried, Chalk Pastels are layered and
blended making them have a soft, fanciful look.
Kim was inspired to illustrate or bring a visualization to
the acts and struggles of faith. She has done several
pieces themed on the songs written for our Cd's.
Her desire in these pieces are to portray our Christian
lives, from the dark, lonely times... To the times when
we can feel God's presence very clearly, and cannot
contain our praise!

| Why Did God Make Pomegranates? Author: Teresa Love Illustrator: Kimberly Merritt This colorful picture book is about an observant little girl who loves God and loves to go to the grocery store. When she discovers a pomegranate, she questions God’s reasoning and learns the gospel truth about the depth of God’s love. The book is simple enough for a very young reader to understand, yet one that older readers, and even parents, will enjoy and learn from. The illustrations are vibrant, clear, and thought provoking. http://www.whydidgod.net/index.html |
