Kim Scouller is a Scottish figurative artist based in London.

She paints from her immediate surroundings using bold colour and lively brushwork to capture the essential character of her subjects.

The modest scale of her paintings allows the subject matter to become the focus for painterly exercises in colour, form and style moulding them into her vision of heightened reality.

Kim's work has been exhibited widely and is held in many private collections.
