Acrylic, mixed media, glow in the dark medium
12”x12”x2"
Artist Statement: “Childhood nostalgia drives much of my art, and Grey Bunny comes from an ongoing series called Lost and Found that explores the beloved toys we lost along the way. While this grey bunny belonged to my cousin, the concept was born from losing my own pink bunny at age seven. For years, he felt like a piece of my youth that was permanently gone—until my 22nd birthday, when my mom surprised me with the exact plush after searching for fifteen years. This series honors those irreplaceable relics of childhood, reflecting the enormous importance toys hold in our early lives and how deeply they follow us into adulthood.”
St. Louis artist Kimberlyn Renee creates luminous pop-surrealist paintings steeped in nostalgia and whimsical absurdity. Working with sculptural 3D textures, glow-in-the-dark paints, and UV-reactive mediums, her award-winning work transforms ordinary imagery into multi-dimensional fantasy worlds designed to awaken the inner child.
