Kim Rae Nugent is a mixed-media artist/author from rural Wisconsin. She enjoys sharing her passion of the creative process hosting an annual art retreat.  Her book “Interactive Art Workshop – Mixed Media in Motion” is scheduled to be released October 2008 by North Light books. Kim’s art has been featured in numerous publications including Somerset Studio, Artist Trading Card Workshop – Create Collect Swap, Somerset Home, Altered Couture, Somerset Wedding, Haute Handbags, Material Visions, and Artist Trading Cards -An Anthology of ATCs.

Kim has spent her life cultivating skills in mixed media including collage, oil painting, sculpture, sewing, altered books and assemblage, often cross pollinating mediums for unique and exciting projects. Her love of nature, especially animals is often reflected in Kim’s art. She has taken formal art courses at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, University of Wisconsin-Washington and Cardinal Stritch College. She believes that it doesn’t take a degree or a style of realism to be an artist, only a desire, and wishes to instill that belief in her students.
