Originally from Sioux City, Iowa, Kim Johnson discovered her love for the creative process at a young age.  On the advice of family and friends concerned that she have a 'real career', Kim completed her degree in psychology before pursuing her real passion - watercolor.

"For four days I threw paint, dropped paint and pushed paint, and watched with a grin as shapes developed, shadows became deeper and eyes, noses and mouths emerged.  
Thanks Kim, it was fantastic!"

"The watercolor workshop with Kim Johnson Nechtman was a delightful learning experience.  Not only did I benefit from Kim's demonstrations and near encyclopedic knowledge of the craft, but I received personal suggestions regarding my work as I progressed on a painting..  Kim has a natural, relaxed manner which certainly made it easy to experiment without feeling threatened or inadequate. 
I highly recommend her classes."
Claudia

From her home now in Phoenix, Arizona, Kim continues to nurture her natural talent with watercolors to convey the complex colors and fragile moods of her subjects.  Through the guidance of her early mentors – George Zien, Diane Maxey, Bill Lundquist, Charles Reid and Ted Nuttall – Kim has developed and enriched her style of capturing the essence of her subjects.  Her award winning work is enjoyed by both private collectors and corporate offices. 

Kim is a signature member of AWS, NWS, WW and WFWS.  She has expanded her work to include instructional and demonstration sessions.  To find out more about 'Studying with Kim' opportunities, click here.
