Kimberly Varnadoe received her BFA in Painting from the University of South Alabama and her MFA in Printmaking from the University of Memphis
She works with numerous mediums including experimental photography and a variety of printmaking techniques, often combining the processes. She also works in oil painting as a meditation practice and explores automatic mark making.
She enjoys experimentation and feels that art is most alive during the art creation -- the final work of art is the record of the process. Varnadoe is a retired Art Professor from Salem College where she mentored artists for more than 25 years.
She has been a member of Artworks Gallery, serving on the board and also serves on the boards of Associated Artists of Winston-Salem and DADA, the Downtown Arts District Association.
She is a Founding Artist of Artfolios, an online fine art gallery, where her work can be viewed online. She maintains a studio in the Culture WS collective in Winston-Salem.
