Kim Rempel is a visual artist living in Grimsby, Ontario. Although primarily a plein air painter, in 2009 she joined the ranks of daily painters (the practice of creating a small painting daily and posting it to a blog). Rempel’s plein air pieces are colourful, expressive and explore the fragility and tenacity of nature. The ethereal qualities and vitality of the Canadian landscape fuels her work.

When creating her small daily paintings Rempel captures the beauty of the commonplace.

Rempel: “We view a lot of images every day but then one day, you walk by a painting and you stop. Something about it stirs you. It could be a feeling the colours are giving you or something in the subject that brings back a private memory. It’s personal. And it takes you to another place…”
