Mountain landscape art to inspire peace and awakening.

There’s nothing quite like the experience of feeling dwarfed by an endless expanse of high alpine valley or a wall of snow-capped 14ers. My passion for the rugged mountain landscape has guided my life for decades, and sparked a deep spiritual inquiry. After years of living in the Himalayan foothills studying with my spiritual teachers, my meditations now take place in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. I’d love to share this meditative mountain experience with you through my art.

Contemporary Colorado mountain landscapes that calm the mind and awaken the spirit.

Meet Colorado Artist

Kim Roberts

As a long-time meditation practitioner, I notice that what’s right before my eyes often gets obscured by the thinking mind. Making art helps me ground the practice of awareness in the present moment.

So I’m interested not only in the subjects I paint, but also the process itself. I try to capture the ineffable atmosphere in which things take place—the quality of mind that accommodates all things.

Each piece I create is an attempt to plant a seed of awareness, and to invite the viewer into a deeper experience of their own awareness—a sort of meditation in action. My hope is to convey how art is a bridge to this experience of spaciousness in the mind and that this is what connects us all.

Having spent much of my adult life as an expat in South Asia, I’ve seen how art connects us to each other in a way that transcends culture. How language influences what we see--or don’t see. How emotional states are shared universally, and how they can be communicated by a simple gesture, image or tone.

I’m fascinated by the ever-changing moods of the natural world--the color of uranium mountains at sunset, purple snow shadows on a cactus field, or the sky’s electric intensity before a thunderstorm. I’m also interested in the moods, or states of mind evoked by being in nature, and enjoy the challenge of expressing these emotions in color and form.

My current exploration is based in the landscape of the southern Colorado high-alpine valley where I live with my artist husband.
