Hi! My name is Kim Dellow,
As an art explorer and experimenter, creativity and curiosity fuel everything I do. For me, art is a joyful blend of play, regular practice, constant learning, and endless growth. It’s this boundless drive to learn and evolve that keeps me buzzing with excitement! My current work focuses on exploring creative expression and finding ways to work with materials to tell meaningful stories.
As a self-taught mixed-media artist, my approach combines intuition with pragmatism. I’m both an artist and a scientist, and these dual aspects of my personality guide my art-making. I love following my heart’s inspiration but also analysing why something works – or doesn’t – and discovering what makes art resonate for me. Listening to your inner voice and uncovering who you are through your process is such an essential part of being an artist, and I embrace that journey wholeheartedly.
My professional art journey began in card-making.
In late 2008, I won the Papercraft Essentials Papercrafter of the Year competition, and from 2009 to 2020, I was fortunate to have my work published in countless magazines, including leading titles from Practical Publishing, Aceville, and Traplet Publications (sadly no longer around). I also had the honour of being featured in Cloth Paper Scissors by Interweave. Additionally, I collaborated with several art and craft brands, including Creative Expressions, Kuretake UK, and Fiskars.
Over the years, my work has grown and developed in exciting ways. Today, I love helping others connect with their creativity, which is why I run a monthly art club on Patreon where we explore and create together. I also offer stand-alone workshops in my Patreon shop and collaborate on courses with other artists and companies. Find out more about workshops here.
In addition to teaching, I’m actively licensing my artwork. My latest designs have been transformed into craft products in collaboration with the fabulous team at Funky Fossil.
If you’d like to work together or learn more about what I do, I’d love to hear from you! You can reach me at kim(at)kimdellow.com.
Happy arting!
