Kimberly Pulli
Kimberly has an artistic background, having studied art and painting at the University of Florida. She has done oil painting in the past, and expertly uses art theory in her paintings, both oil and felt. Artistry has been in her family for generations.
Kimberly first discovered felting in 2016, when she learned about the art form and found online tutorials from Marie Spaulding of Living Felt! Kimberly quickly caught the attention of Marie, who was amazed with Kimberly’s felted works, and encouraged her to continue further into the felting art form.
Kimberly makes her wool portraits into purses and wall hangings, and enjoys incorporating recycled fabrics into her pieces. She expertly uses color to create depth and shadow to give realism to her portraits, and enjoys layering textural elements into her pieces.
Kimberly’s work has been published in Fiber Arts Now, Felt Matters, and had her work displayed in the Hunterdon Museum in New Jersey. She is a member of the International Felt-Makers Association, where her work has been published in their magazine as well.
