Kim Donaldson is a Zimbabwean artist. He has painted many African wild animals. He paints in several styles including realism and impressionism. He has been featured in four books, participated in numerous one man shows and group exhibitions throughout Europe and America and sold his works in several auction houses. Having spent his early life on a 150,000 acre ranch in what was Rhodesia, Donaldson was perfectly placed to develop and nurture his interest in the wildlife and people that surrounded him. Donaldson's paintings document the issues facing the continent, his use of palette and texture gives a sense that the works were painted using the very red soil of Africa. |

Donaldson's passion for the wildlife of Africa led him to write a book "Africa, An Artist's Journal" detailing his travels and experiences that give him the reference for his beautiful paintings. Donaldson's book took him over 4 1/2 years to complete. He designed, wrote and illustrated the book himself; it became a best-seller in five countries and won the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum book award for design. |
