Born and raised in Seattle, artist Kim Drew creates colorful paintings inspired by the immense beauty of the Pacific Northwest. The bustling urban energy of Seattle framed by eastern and western mountain ranges, lakes, lush green forests and rolling hills is an ideal setting to muse the artist in an unending array of subject matter.

As a young man Mr. Drew explored Europe, drawing sketches in trade for food, wine, and train fare. Through these travels he realized his hometown holds as much color and energy as anywhere on earth. He returned back to Seattle from New York in 1990 and has since been busy composing imagery of the city and countryside which inspires him.

Kim Drew graduated with honors from the renowned Art Center of Pasedena, California. His work has appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times, Time/Life and Readers’ Digest. Kim Drew is a five-time Award of Excellence winner from the Society of Illustrators and has exhibited his artwork at Seattle’s Pike Place Market since January 2000. He has won numerous awards in Northwest juried exhibits and is a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society.
