Hi, I’m Kimberly.

For a time, I focused my creative energies on running The Homestead Atlanta, one of only a handful of urban folk schools in the country. Through that experience, I discovered that craft is about so much more than the capacity to create an object; these timeless skills offer a foundation for community and profound lessons in living.

My interest in how craft transforms material expanded to encompass how it also fundamentally transforms the maker. As I immersed myself in the world of craft and folk education, I had the good fortune to be named a National Arts Strategy’s Creative Community Fellow and asked to serve on the board of the Folk Education Association of America.

When the pandemic reshaped the landscape of in-person gathering, I transitioned my curiosity about craft, the human spirit, and the natural world to the page. My work has been featured in such publications as American Craft, The Bitter Southerner, Dark Mountain and Salon and was listed as notable in The Best American Nature & Science Writing. I have gratefully received fellowships from Bread Loaf Environmental Writers’ Conference and Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts & Sciences.

When I’m not busy at the keyboard as a freelance writer and senior copywriter, you can find me attempting a new craft, reading a book from a TBR pile that assumes my immortality, or floating in a mountain river as often as possible. Have any questions or just want to chat? I’d love to hear from you!
