Local Featured Seller: Prints by Kim

Who are you? Kimberly Ruth Edwards, and I run Prints by Kim on etsy.

Where are you located? I'm located in the heart of Raleigh, NC.

What do you create? I create waterless lithographs in small editions.

What is your favorite place to visit in the "triangle"? The Pullen Park Art Center. This is not only where I create my prints, it's also where I get to mingle with other artists. The positive atmosphere is conducive to being very creative.

When did you start creating? After I took a class at Pullen Park in January 2011.
What is your most cherished handmade item? A print of the house where my Daddy grew up.

Why did you choose your medium? Because it is multi-original; although a set of a particular print is an edition, each of those prints is an original and unique in itself.
Who inspires you? My Dad - because he works hard and he is honest. And that is what you have to do with art - you have to work hard to hone your skills, because without the skill, you cannot bring the creative idea to life.

Where do you create? I create the ideas and plates at home, and actually print the plates at Pullen Art Center.
