Kim Abeles (American, b. 1952)
Kim Abeles was born in Richmond Heights, Missouri, in 1952. She received a B.F.A. in painting from Ohio University in 1974 and a M.F.A. in studio art from the University of California, Irvine, in 1980. Her work explores a wide range of disciplines—biology, biography, history, philosophy—and tackles such contemporary social issues as AIDS, ecology, labor relations, and women’s identity to create works that balance form with content, metaphor with fact. Today, Abeles is a visiting artist to several California schools and maintains a home and studio in Los Angeles.
