Kim McCarty (born February 10, 1956, in Los Angeles, California)[1] is an artist and watercolor painter living and working in Los Angeles, California.
[3] She often works in large formats using layers of monochromatic colors.
[5] She began working in the watercolor medium in 1993, after her studio was destroyed by a fire and was unable to find a space with proper ventilation for oil paint.
A 2015 review by Hunter Drohojowska-Philp notes that McCarty is known best for paintings of young, unclothed men and women; it describes her work in that show—images of rabbits and dogs—as unpredictable and spontaneous.
