Kimberly Montes is a Painter and Designer from Philadelphia, working with different paint mediums such as oil pastel, acrylic, and watercolor. When she's not painting she likes to sketch in her various journals, create digital art or work on designs for her nonprofit Youth Design Philly. Kimberly's work has been featured in shows held in Philadelphia, P.A., West Chester, P.A., and Yorklyn, D.E.
Kimberly's childhood experience as a creative soul led to the pursuit of a Fine Arts education from West Chester University. In the years following graduation, Kimberly became a liberal arts educator to students ranging from grades K-8; this is where she discovered her passion for teaching. After 5 years of teaching, she felt the need to infuse creativity into her daily work and so she returned to pursue further education at Drexel University. From 2015-2018, Kimberly studied Interior Architecture and Design at the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design. Her passion for education, the arts and design helped to guide her towards the mission of YDP and influence her current body of work.
