About the Artist

I'm Kimberly Deene Langlois, a self-taught multi media artist based in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Inspired by nature, music, and the joy of creating, I specialize in vibrant alcohol ink florals that reflect life's spontaneity and beauty. 

Creativity runs deep in my roots. I come from a long line of "Southern Mamas" who made beauty with their hands - sewing dresses, stitching curtains, and turning everyday things into something special. I grew up in a home filled with handmade touches and watched in awe as my mother transformed old things into something new and full of life. That spirit never left me.

Years later, when I became a mom, glitter, glue and crayons became a part of our everyday table. Art wasn't just something we did - it was how we lived. But it wasn't until 2017, after nearly 30 years in the insurance industry, that I finally gave myself permission to step fully into the artist I was always meant to be. 

Now I spend my days in my cozy backyard art shed - painting, teaching workshops, and building a beautiful creative community online and in person. I have been honored to teach for Ranger Ink at national trade shows, co-authored a book called Creating Art with Alcohol Ink, and run a thriving online membership group of incredible artists and learners.

When I'm not painting, you'll find me at live music shows with my husband, snuggling my twin grand-babies, or adventuring with my five-year-old grandson - my little best friend and greatest reminder to keep life playful and full of wonder.

Art, for me, is a celebration of color, of emotion, of the quiet magic in everyday life ... and what connects us when words cannot.
