ART & Self Preservation

By Kim Kitchen January 21, 2026
Yesterday, I celebrated a vision that had lingered in my minds eye for years. After six months of steady work, the project—a creative fusion of painting and collage—now stands complete. I approached it not with technical aims, but mindful intention paying tribute to our daughters and the land, lovingly referred to as the swamp . Painting feels all so familiar, and that is where I began, laying down the landscape, seared in memory, and a favourite spot where we all shared time among the gardens under the maple tree. Little did I know that college would unfold, lending my current experience to this work. It all felt so right, the final act of maple leaves that sheltered us from the sun. I drew, painted, then cut out and applied. Photographs of Nichole, Erin, and Abeba, which I had taken over the years in that exact spot, I printed to provide size perspective, then merged them into place. I remember clearly the day after I arrived home from Tanzania (2007), Erin and I were under the maple tree when the bird landed in her hand and stayed for some time. A notable welcome home. Art has and continues to be the instrument through which I express my lived experience, imaginings of what was and what can be. My practice inspires and directs exploration, a gift offered up as a proclamation to my inner worlds.

Barbara O’Meara of Ireland reached out in 2023 to purchase a copy of of my book To Re-convene // To Shoreline © 2023. Shortly after her copy arrived she messaged, requesting a virtual meet up. Soon after we delighted in seeing one another and oh did we cover shared ground: art, family, community, Herstory, becoming disabled, and pivoting to find one’s way.
