Kim Diment's unique art brings personality and life to the animals she has chosen to depict. As a young person she spent hours in the woods surrounding the shorelines of the AuSable River near her home in Norhtern Michigan. Her formal training involved a double major from Michigan State University in Zoology and in the Fine Arts.

Kim became addicted to Africa in the early nineties. She makes a pilgrimage there once a year. Lately these trips have involved gathering referencing for certain endangered species which Kim will paint and then donate back part of the sales proceeds.

Diment has also expanded her endangered species work to non-African animals such as the Kirtland's Warbgler. This rare bird nests predominately in the Jack Pines of Northern Michigan.
