Kimberly Heard (b. 1991) investigates the instability and mutability of perception, using oil painting as a method to steal/trap the ephemeral shift from concept to indexical form.


Her process is diaristic, grasping to record what might otherwise slip away. Hence, her figures are often entangled, immersed, and nested in the ambiguity of gestural, monochromatic surroundings.
By distilling material and indexical forms, Heard seeks to discover the spectral threshold between the sensed and the seen.


Kimberly’s recent exhibitions include Institute of Contemporary Art, San Diego, Gallery QI, and Bread & Salt Gallery. She is currently working in New Haven, CT pursuing her MFA in Painting at the Yale School of Art. She enjoys home-cooked meals, bookmaking, and the sound that leaves make when they encounter rain.
