Our Best To You / vol.1

Kim Schmitt
As an artist…as an educator…a wife,
mother, and grandmother…I love art!
I love to create art, look at art, and teach
art. My students often ask me, “When did
you start doing art?” My answer is always
the same, “As long as I can remember.”
My concentration at both Texas Lutheran
University and the University of Houston
was studio art. Later I earned a BA Degree
in Education from Texas State University
with a specialization in art. Now, after 22
years of teaching art for the Seguin
Independent School District, I am retiring. I
look forward to hopefully having more
time to paint.
At this time, my preference is to work in
several different mediums. In college,
ceramics held my interest, but now I
consider myself a painter. My favorite
medium as of late has been ink and acrylic.
If you look at my paintings, you can tell I
love color. The rural landscape around our
home east of Seguin is the source of
inspiration for my paintings.
