About Me: Kimba Burton

I am a freelance artist; working in many mediums including painting, drawing, embroidery, printmaking, film and digital photography, videography, and digital art. I was born in Manhattan Beach, CA, and currently reside in Manhattan Beach as a local artist!

In 2019, I graduated from California State University: Long Beach with a degree in Film and Electronic Arts Production Design. During my time in college, I also studied studio arts and film at Lorenzo de Medici Institute in Firenze (Florence), Italy. It was in Italy that I had the opportunity to display my paintings in an open-air art show in the square of the Basilica di San Lorenzo. 

Fun facts: My passions include art, baking, gardening, environmental sustainability, and watching documentaries! 

In 2020, I wrote and illustrated my first children’s picture book titled, “Good Morning, Grapes!”.

I often participate in Southern California pop-up market events; if you are interested in having me as a vendor at your next event please send me an email at artbykimba@gmail.com. Check out my Instagram for a schedule of my upcoming events!

I am available to do commissioned artwork; custom pieces are my favorite to make! This can range from paintings/drawings, album artwork, murals, book illustrations, hand-painted ornaments, custom stamped bags, tattoo designs, embroidered clothing or hoops, etc. Please send me an email at artbykimba@gmail.com regarding any inquiries.
