Artist
Those works!!! That life. Thank you so much for sending and thank you for coming to the studio. I’d love to be included in the Pelican Art Circle website attached are 2 photos by Eric and a current bio Biography, 2025:
Kim Manfredi is an American painter whose work moves fluidly between abstraction and representation, informed by a deep engagement with art history and contemporary feminist discourse. She earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 1988 and returned to complete her MFA in painting in 2009, studying under Grace Hartigan and Joyce Kozloff.
Manfredi has exhibited nationally and internationally. She was represented by C. Grimaldis Gallery and has held residencies at RUC, the Vermont Studio Center, VCCA, and Maryland Art Place. Recent solo exhibitions include Lady Lazarus at Royale Projects and Wayside Shrines at Kneeland Co., both in Los Angeles. She was also featured in Tutto a Tempo at the Camus Museum in Breno, Italy.
In 2024, she was awarded the Torrance Art Museum Fellowship and attended the Cycladic Arts Residency in Paros, Greece. Her painting Sillmangreen was acquired by the Palm Springs Art Museum for its permanent collection. She is currently preparing for a 2026 exhibition and public commission at the Laguna Art Museum
