Greetings. My name is Kim Richards and I am a visual artist and children's book illustrator concentrating in oils, acrylics, pen, ink, watercolor, and electronic/digital media. Like so many, I've been an artist all of my life and have led art workshops and classes over the years. I've learned to combine my educational background, as an instructional systems designer/developer, with my artistic background, to create art curricula and instruction for a variety of audiences.
