Born and raised in the "Bayous of the Mississippi" just outside of New Orleans, Kimberley spent every summer in an environment rich in color; a light unique to the area. Eventually, her interest expanded from canvas to film, and Kimberley was taken on as an apprentice for the top black and white photographer in the region. She then "came to embrace everything through the lens of the camera." Together, they taught students from Loyola and Tulane Universities to develop their film and prints. The highlight of this experience was to have some of the photos displayed in local businesses.

Kimberley continued her self taught art education when she moved to Dallas. In the late 1990's, Kimberley was approached by the Dallas Home School Association and was privileged to teach art through this opportunity. Today, Kimberley teaches private lessons to children and adults, and when inspired, paints.
