In the tradition of the French Impressionist Movement, Kimberley's work is closely associated with the extraordinary new way of seeing pictures that occurred during the last third of the nineteenth century. Kimberley's unique way of seeing, in which forms are dissolved in light, her asymmetrical compositions, and her method of dividing color and applying pigment to the canvas defines her vision of delightful depiction's of nature.
