Art De Bustillos
 
Kimberly Bustillos

   

 Inspired by life Kimberly Bustillos' art features colorful  paintings of people, children, still lives, and landscapes expressed in rich textures.  Originally from Northern Arizona and Southern Utah, Bustillos appreciates the beauty and energy unique to Alaska.  Captivated by people, their culture and history, Bustillos feels fortunate to have the opportunity to express feelings through art.
Now residing in Wasilla, Alaska with her husband and three kids Bustillos has become an active member of the Alaskan art community.  Her work can be found in art collections from Alaska to Mexico and across the U.S.
