Acrylic and watercolor on paper
Mounted to birch wood panel

Inhale and Exhale are companion pieces inspired by my time at La Concha Beach in San Sebastián, Spain. As I walked along the shore, I noticed small details: pebbles dragging delicate marks through wet sand, fine lines etched into seashells, the unusual jagged rock formations pressed into the promenade wall, and the soft, wispy clouds drifting slowly in the sky. These subtle impressions became the language of these two paintings.

Inhale invites an intake of calm, of presence, of clarity. Exhale offers release, a letting go, a softening. Like two parts of a single breath, they mirror each other in tone and rhythm. Their light palette embodies the sensation of breathing with the weightlessness of air and the contrast of tension and release.

Inhale and Exhale are sold separately.

In Love

It’s hard to describe why one falls in love with an artist’s work, but that’s what happened when I first saw Kim’s work years ago. Her style, approach and execution are one of a kind and each culminate into an elegant piece that fill any space with beauty.

Meet The Artist
Kim Knoll

Hi, I'm Kim Knoll—a painter, traveler, and equal parts nature lover and city girl living in the heart of Chicago. Each year, I spend time in different parts of the world exploring on foot, from a big city like Madrid to the narrow canyons of Utah. These experiences inspire new perspectives and guide my work.

From my studio in Humboldt Park, I paint on paper using mixed media to find peace within my environment and myself. I think of things that bring me calm or joy, like the movement of water, different layers of land, and the expanse of open sky.

My original paintings are scanned and made into high-resolution art prints that are professionally printed, framed and carefully packed for shipping. 

I hope my work creates a connection that invites you to pause, slow down, and become present long enough to restore your own peace and the simple joy of being.
