Kim Penner

From her home outside of Lacombe, Alberta, internationally recognized and award winning artist Kim Penner spends her days cultivating her art and raising her family. Raised in Morden, Manitoba, Kim developed a genuine interest and appreciation for horses at an early age. Having owned horses since the age of 10, Kim has steadily developed a close connection with the subjects she adores so much and with whom she spends so much of her time. Through the encouragement and support of her parents, Kim entered her renderings into local fairs and art festivals, establishing a reputation at an early age as a budding prodigy; capable of mastering the artistic interaction between observation, representation and reality. She would later go on to graduate from the University of Manitoba with degrees in both Fine Arts and Education.

By mastering an artistic form of hyperrealism, Kim has proven her proficiency in the realm of art, nature and all things equine that is not easily rivaled. Whether her subjects are wild or domesticated, her research has taken her all across the North-American landscape, experiencing all the topography of this grand and diverse continent ensuring she is always within the vanguard of her artistic field.

Kim is licenced with Pineridge Art, Leanin’ Tree, and Millpond Press. She was awarded 2004’s ‘Woman Entrepreneur of the Year’ in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
