Kim Hennessy
Kim is an artist living and working in Governors Bay, Christchurch. Kim’s practice involves responding to observations from the everyday in her immediate environment and of the moment.
Her art education was based in the San Francisco Bay Area while her tutors descended from a legacy of great figurative painters; from Richard Diebenkorn to R.B. Kitaj.
Kim has regularly featured in solo, group exhibitions, auctions and competitions, and her work has always proven engaging. She is represented by Chambers Art Gallery; https://chambersart.co.nz/artist/kim-hennessy.
