Kim Hennessy


Visual Artist

Kim Hennessy's work offers a sanctuary for the mind and spirit, a place where the simplicity of nature speaks to the complexities of human experience. 

Kim’s work beckons us to pause, to breathe, and to rediscover the beauty of our own inner landscapes. Her paintings navigate the interplay between colour and form, drawing from both figurative traditions and the ever-shifting beauty of the natural world. 

The subjects are more than mere representations; they are meditations on the essence of existence, capturing fleeting moments that resonate with the quietude of daydreams.
