Kim Carpenter       

Kim Carpenter is a distinguished Sydney-based artist and storyteller whose creations spring instinctively from his vivid imagination. Drawing inspiration from the images of everyday life, he reimagines and reinterprets them, weaving these elements into the stories and themes that define his work. Carpenter's art often delves into literary sources Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde etc), creating atmospheric, stylized, and fantastical worlds that bring characters and narratives to life.

Carpenter’s pieces have earned a place in prestigious Australian and international exhibitions, as well as private collections.
