Meet Artist Kimberly Zook

Artist Statement

As an artist, I am fascinated by the overlap of science and art. Science is the pursuit of truth through observation and experiment while art is the quest of truth not always visible to the eye. The combination of these truths is what inspires my art. I’m fascinated with the smallest of details in nature and how art allows us to see and appreciate them. This fascination stems from childhood when I encountered William Blake’s book of poems, Songs of Innocence and Experience, and to this day the words from “Auguries of Innocence” shape how I see the world:

                                    To see a World in a Grain of Sand

                                    And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

                                    Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

                                    And Eternity in an hour
