Hello,
I'm Kimberley Lichty, aka "Sassy Artist Kimberley".
Thank you for popping in. I acquired the name "Sassy" from my dear ole dad, Donald Hawk. I have a full of sass attitude mixed with a bit of sarcasm too.
I was introduced into visual arts as early as five years of age by my mother, Janet Hawk, an instructor and teacher with our local Elkhart County Art League. I was my mother that inspired me to become a visual artist.
Spending a number of years working with all variations of mediums studying at IUSB and teaching myself the trades of visual artistry I fell in love with Mixed Media which is where I landed in creating.
In May of 2023 my focus, and style changed dramatically. Our family suffered the loss (death by suicide) of our only son, and brother Wesley, who suffered from depression. Today I create pieces inspired by:
Positive Mental Health, Door Ways, and Abstract collections where I merry a plethora of random found, and intentional objects into each created piece. The three styles work cohesively together using vibrant colors that speak volumes on creativity with vibrant color, and mesmerize the client.
During juried show season I choose to give back 10% to local, and national chapters of Suicide Awareness with all purchases made from locals, patrons, and collectors.
I create using professional grade brushes, pallet knives, sponges, and other tools of the trade onto professional grade, back stapled canvas, and collective wood panels where; "Bringing Visual Arts into Everyday Lives," is my mantra, and passion.
Juried Show exhibits include;
For the Love of Art - Art Fair, South Bend, IN
I won Best Promoter for the Love Arts Fair in 2022, and awarded a billboard for the 2023 Art Show.
DTSB-Art Beat, South Bend, IN; Taste of the Gardens, Elkhart, IN; Leeper Park Art Fair, South Bend, IN; The Winona Lake Art Festival, Warsaw, IN; Arts on the Millrace, Goshen, IN; Edwardsburg Art Festival, Edwardsburg, MI; Bay Harbor Arts Festival, Bay Harbor, MI and Colors by the Lake Walloon, MI.
"What inspires me"?
"Life itself. The gift of another day to create.
My husband Bob, our amazing kiddos / family, music, and friends too." "Vincent Van Gogh's works have been a huge inspiration to me for becoming an artist. Even though my methods are not exactly similar; I resonate with his love of being able to create.
Yes, you can hire me to create an idea.
All my pieces are originals -
Commissioned pieces are more than art.
They are reflections of you, my client(s) stories, life experiences, and favorite memories.
I help create, recreate and, bring life to all pieces' with a bit of guidance from you, the client.
I have created numerous pieces for clients throughout
St. Joseph county, IN
Detroit, MI
San Tan Valley, AZ
Scottsdale, AZ
Long Island, New York
Lexington Kentucky
Columbus, OH
and I have a few pieces resting internationally in Portugal.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed and completed with the subject and client in mind.
I create every piece with emotion, care, and love with client direction (when desired).
(The piece you see here was commissioned by a client in KY.
We worked together to collaborate a WOW abstract factor piece of her own likeness, and we achieved it by working closely together).
This one of a kind piece hangs in it's forever home in Georgetown, KY.
