Meet
Kimberly Dolecek
I would describe myself as someone who is passionate about art, making art, and teaching art. My hope is that after viewing my website you get inspired and excited about art too. To remember art isn’t about being perfect, but being creative. Your style is just as unique as your handwriting, so never feel that your paintings or drawings need to look like some one else’s.
As a child I had a natural inclination and fascination with color, so much that I even colored one of my favorite doll completely with crayons. When my mother asked my why I did that, I simply replied “I wanted to make her beautiful in color.” I grew up constantly creating and making creations out normal house hold items that most people would toss away. It was in high school that a teacher took me under her wings and helped me hone in my illustration and painting skills. Then I later went to Columbia College Chicago majoring in Illustration with focus of Graphic Design.
Since Graduating college I had worked at a number of companies doing graphic design and freelance illustrations. I also married my best friend who is also a graphic designer and became a full-time Mom to our two wonderful children. It gives me great pleasure to inspire them to find their own paths in art and color on their own terms.
