About Edge of Grey - Kim Kool
Welcome! My name is Kim and I am an encaustic artist with a full time teaching studio in Caledon, Ontario. Many people come into my studio saying that 'they don't have a creative bone in their body'. That's simply not true. We are all creative, but we need the space and resources to nurture our creative practice. My life changed the first time I dipped a paintbrush into a pot of beeswax and I love sharing this experience with others. Besides painting, I am passionate about community building with a focus on inclusion, accessibility, and capacity building.
