Born in San Francisco and raised on O‘ahu, Kim Anderson is an artist and educator residing in Bradenton, Florida. She holds the position of Professor of Art at New College of Florida where she has taught painting and drawing since 2004. She earned an MFA from the University of Florida and BFA from California College of the Arts. Her work examines intersections between painting and photography where she explores 19th century cinematic antecedents, vintage home movies, and the carnivalesque magic of stereoscopy against our present screen-based obsessions. Located in the afterlife of thrift store novelties and vernacular photography, her paintings reimagine new fictions from found objects, amateur photography, and the­ traces of things left behind. Her employment of still life and figurative painting traditions highlight the roles women have played as practitioners and subjects within the histories of painting, cinema and photography. Her work has been exhibited nationally and featured in publications including New American Paintings, Studio Visit Magazine, Create! Magazine, and Manifest INPA and MEA.
