Kim Blatt

Kim Blatt is a creative at heart. He began his art career at an early age, showing a natural talent for drawing and painting.  He pursued his interest in art by studying Advertising Design at the New York Institute of Technology in Westbury, Long Island. Kim completed his Bachelors Degree of Fine Arts with a major in Communication Design in 1975 at Kutztown University.

Kim continued his education with studies at The School of Visual Arts in New York City from 1975 through 1977.  After a 28 year career in Advertising and Marketing, Kim focused on his true passion, working with wood as a 3-dimensional outlet.

Today, Kim's turnings incorporate a combination of sophisticated, traditional shapes with a complementary flair.  His work is now focusing on surface embellishments, not as an interpretation of nature, but as a way of adding depth and movement to his forms. Kim's embellishment techniques include carving, burning, dyeing, engraving, painting and adding acrylic resins and various metals to enhance the natural beauty of the wood itself.

Each piece is then hand finished with 12 coats of acrylic lacquer and hand buffed to perfection.
