KIMBERLEE TRAUB's pen & ink illustrations started in 1990s ‘zines and grew to the streets of Philadelphia. To her, art is gateway to great things when used to feed imagination & spirit; it connects people, helps us imagine possibility, and gives space to dreams of making positive change in the world. By creating impermanent and burnable art, pasting murals around Philly, and illustrating in a distinctive inky style, Kimberlee creates tangible art that intentionally adds bursts of magic to an every day experience. Her ideal is to elevate experience with beauty and mindful moments. Her subject ranges from dancer muses to Goddess images meant to inspire feminine creative power.
KIMBERLEE’s unique pen & ink illustrations are created in her Philadelphia studio and her art has appeared in exhibits from NJ to San Francisco. Her work has been shown in her Fishtown neighborhood from gallery spaces to the mud pit of the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby. Past gigs include gallery assistant, body painter, production artist for a puppet theater, clothing company visual artist, volunteer art teacher and creator for local Halloween attractions as an actress, stage manager and crafter of haunted houses. She currently works as a freelance illustrator and massage therapist when she is not creating installations and murals.

5 out of 5 starsThe pendant is beauty-full with a clear image (even more clear than the listing photo) and made of quality materials. I'll be able to wear this even when I'm old and grey! :) I love the blue-green color scheme and the reminder message. The back of the pendant is also lovely, with a textured pattern that reminds me of a mandala. It was packaged with care and protected inside of a purple suede-like pouch. I also loved the handwritten card with her artwork on the front. Plus, a business card sticker! Spiffy! Kim's distinctive art is always enchanting and inspiring. I've been a fan of her work (and her as a person!) for many years, so I am really proud to own this work of art and will happily display it for others to see! <3

5 out of 5 starsI am friends with the woman depicted in this pendant and with the woman who made the necklace, so I'm honored to wear this to signify sisterhood. <3

5 out of 5 starsI was proudly born and raised in Philly, but recently moved just beyond the city border to Upper Darby - so I wear this pendant to represent my Philly love with pride.

Illustrator. Burner. Creator of magic...
Once upon a time...
I discovered a magical place in my heart that gifted me a talent for drawing in a unique pen and ink style. After years of indulging my darker expressions in the Goth/Dark Wave scene, I was introduced to the inspiring world of the Burning Man community. I felt connected once again to my fierce pagan spirit and the abundance of a visionary world My transformation included leaving my day job doing graphics for a small print shop to pursue the healing art of massage therapy. This change gives me the freedom to follow my artistic passions. I am now dedicated to following my heart and sharing that passion and spirit.
Blessed Be ~ Kim
