Kim Sobel

Kim Sobel was raised in Vermont and graduated with a BA from Hampshire College. She continued her education in New York where she received an MS from Bank Street College and an MFA from Hunter College, CUNY. In 2002, she moved from New York City to Connecticut where she now resides. Her work, which has consistently been inspired by her surroundings, reflects the shifting elements of nature that she rediscovered upon settling in the country. 

Sobel has shown her work locally, in New York City, and internationally. She has two upcoming shows: Walking the Wall opens in February 2017 at M Fine Arts Galerie, Boston, MA, and Shifting Surfaces opens in March 2017 at Pegasus Gallery and the Niche, Middlesex Community College, Middletown, CT. Her work has been shown recently at Sideshow Gallery, Brooklyn, NY 2017; Charter Oak Cultural Center, Hartford, CT (2016); Five Points Gallery, Torrington, CT (2015); in a group show curated by Harriet Korman at 490 Atlantic, Brooklyn, NY (2014); and ArtSpace Gallery, Hartford, CT (2013). Sobel taught painting at the New School, New York, and watercolor at Manchester Community College, Manchester, CT. In 2010, she received an Artist Fellowship Grant from the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism, and in 1998, was awarded a William GRAF Travel Abroad Scholarship from Hunter College.
