Kim Manfredi graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) with a BFA in 1988. She returned to MICA and graduated with an MFA in Fine Art in 2009 and moved to the Palm Springs area in 2016.
The Pandemic inspired a period of experimentation in which Kim began applying paint in an abstract way. She is an enthusiastic cyclist who rides daily. These journeys power her artistic vision and provide the raw materials for new paintings.
After graduating MICA, she was represented by C. Grimaldis Gallery, 2009 – 2013 and has attended residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, VCCA, Maryland Art Place and most recently a portfolio reviewed workshop at Anderson Ranch. Kim has exhibited at various venues in the California and is a founder of the Desert Open Studios Tour.
