Kim Stout ~ Thread divine

Kim was born in Massachusetts yet grew up in Ohio playing in the woods dreaming of being Betsy Ross or Sacajawea. Her fertile imagination was furthered by receiving a BFA in Fine Arts from Ohio State and a MAE in Art Education from RSID. Kim taught art in Frederick County Maryland for a number of years before joining her family business Coastal Pet Products. While her real job keeps her quite busy, you will never find her creatively idle.

Kim works mostly in textiles and ceramics, often combining mediums. For her, the process of “making” creates a harmony of disparate bits. She is hopelessly sentimental and saves everything that could possibly have a future use giving her endless little bits to work with.

Kim travels extensively, collecting antique textiles, buttons and other bits to use in her work and share with other like minded folk.
