Art Festival in the Hudson Valley: Some exciting news: OC Live!, the Orange County, NY arts and music festival, got rescheduled — and I'll be there when it happens: Sunday, September 20th, 10 AM to 4 PM, at Sweet Clover Farm in Highland Mills, NY. → Get your free tickets here This is the kind of event I love: local artists, makers, and musicians all in one place, celebrating what we make. Kimm Alfonso, abstract painter, at OC Live, September 20 What artwork I'll be showing at

My framed collection is ready to hang the moment it arrives — no trips to the frame shop, no guesswork about what works with the piece. Each painting is an original abstract work on paper, individually selected and framed. Some frames are new. Some are reclaimed — vintage finds chosen because something about their weight, finish, or history felt right for that particular piece. The frame is never an afterthought. It's the final decision in a long series of intentional ones, t

OC Live! got rained out — but the art didn't. Hudson Valley artist Kimm Alfonso brings the full collection online: framed originals with certificates of authenticity, abstract Foundations paintings, Midnight Series botanical shadow boxes, and Minis starting at $5. Two bodies of work. One shop. Ready to hang, ready to gift. Shop now at kimmalfonso.com.

The Midnight Series started there. These are small works. Each piece is a 2.5-inch square collage mounted on a wood block and set into a shadow box frame. The dark backgrounds do something unexpected to the botanicals — they isolate each flower, pull it forward, give it a presence it might not have. Outside, these plants are generous, abundant, and easy to overlook. Against darkness, they become something else. Something worth a longer look.

Something I've been quietly working toward is finally happening: I'll be showing my work at OC Live!, an Orange County NY art event on Saturday, July 18th at Sweet Clover Farm in Highland Mills, NY — and I cannot wait. This is the kind of event I love, just local artists, makers, and musicians coming together to celebrate what we create. OC Live! runs from 10 AM to 4 PM, and I'd love to see your face there.

Our Spring Collection is finally here — and it's everything but ordinary. Abstract art phone case Spring doesn't have to mean pastels and polite florals. For us, spring means boldness. It means color that commands a room, prints that stop people mid-sentence, and accessories that say something — without you having to say a word. That's the energy behind our new Spring Collection. Art for the every day. At the heart of this collection is our signature paintings — bold strokes

There’s something oddly refreshing about being told not to go big. A recent community open call at the Hudson Valley Gallery invited artists to create tiny 2 x 2–inch artworks. That simple, playful prompt took all the pressure off. Instead of worrying about making something “important,” I found myself asking a much better question: what could I paint that small and actually enjoy making? The Challenge of Small Art Of course, I decided to push it a little and tested out two pi

I'm thrilled to share a small but meaningful milestone: I’ve just reached 200 followers on Instagram! 📸🎨 To some, it might seem like a modest number—but for me, it represents a year of creative growth , reinvention, and finally saying yes to myself as an artist. Every follow, every like, every share has helped build a new chapter of my journey—and if you're reading this, thank you for being part of it . Video Montage of the last year in my art journey.

It’s that time of year again—when the blooms begin to fade, the petals dry, and something quietly magical starts to take shape in the studio and also across the Hudson Valley. Work in progress, macabre dish Over the last few years, I’ve found deep joy in growing flowers, carefully drying them, and transforming them into lasting works of art. What started as a simple creative experiment with familiar blooms like geraniums and daisies has grown into a more thoughtful practice.

Over the years, I’ve developed some go-to methods to incorporate that same kind of spontaneous creativity into my daily routine.
