Kimmy Hussey
by Penwith Gallery | St. Ives
British contemporary painter Kimmy Hussey works from her studio above the Penwith Gallery in St Ives, creating paintings that explore the boundaries between observation and imagination. Her practice encompasses dreamlike abstracts, vivid landscapes and playful still life, unified by a bold use of colour and strong form.
Hussey’s work reflects a distinctly colourist approach, translating emotion and atmosphere into tonally layered, luminous compositions that evoke both intimacy and expansiveness. Educated at Leeds College of Art and the University of the Arts London, she continues to build upon the rich artistic heritage of Cornwall, contributing a fresh, contemporary voice to its ongoing narrative of landscape and abstraction.
