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."

| "I started taking art classes and it was
so exciting! I loved creating paintings and amazed myself with my
accomplishments. The whole process, from the composition to
drawing to painting, is thrilling!"
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'
