​Kimberlie Moutoux is a photographer, painter, ceramicist, and textile artist, who combines applique and quilting to depict broad themes such as migration and habitat, as well as individual species of birds.  In addition to her art practice, she is a certified Master Birder, leading field trips and conducting research at Filoli Historic House and Gardens, Jasper Ridge Biological Preserves at Stanford University, Alcatraz Island, and the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory.

While Vivian Walz's birding claims are much more modest, both her art and her wanderings are inspired by this quote from John Muir Laws, a local naturalist and leader in the nature journaling community: "Birding is a window into the natural world." She combines direct observation with photo references to create colored pencil drawings, hand-cut silhouettes, and collages.  Her favorite local birding spots are San Bruno Mountain State and County Park, San Pedro Valley Park in Pacifica, and Pillar Point Harbor.

Kimberlie maintains a studio at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica, and both artists are members of the Art Guild of Pacifica. 

Original cards, prints, small works, and larger pieces will be available for sale.

The gallery will be open on Sundays, 1-5 PM, thru August 16th, & by appointment.
