About Me
Welcome to Kim Kreates.
My name is Kim Givens.
I am a Mother... Lover... World Traveler... Daughter... Local Shopper... Sister... Epicurean... Wine Lover... Painter... Furniture Rahbilitator... Stitcher... I am a Native Californian...
I am a Maker
My unofficial job title has always been Cat Herder and Queen of the Unseen (I will organize the bejeezus out of the cabinet under your kitchen sink!!).
I have always said "I don't have an artistic bone in my body. I could not draw a stick figure to save my life. I am okay with that, my talents lie elsewhere" …
Then one day, I went to one of those “wine & paint” nights! I knew it would be fun if my dear friend Robin invited me. I knew my painting would be horrible, but for once, I didn’t care. I wasn’t there to achieve or impress. I was there to have a glass of wine with a friend and enjoy some rare time together in our overly busy lives.
Lo and behold...my painting was not headed to the dustbin, it actually had some redeeming qualities. And the rest, I say, is history.
I am a creator and a maker.
I have never thought of myself as an artist..and I still don’t…I am a Creator
