Welcome to Blue Wave Cottage; a place to house my artwork online, and the name of my home and studio in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay area. I’m Kim Lavinder, primarily a watercolor artist; for years painting has been my passion, instrumental in helping me navigate through life’s ups and downs. I enjoy escaping into my imagination, creating colorful, vibrant works that evoke feelings of peace, joy, and gratitude for the beauty that abounds.
Art and creativity have been expressive outlets for me since childhood, whether for the sheer fun of it, as a meditative practice, or to help me cope with and heal from emotional trauma, and serious illness as a thriving cancer and stroke survivor. I paint from my heart and soul, often producing images that elicit idyllic, charming, carefree vibes. I hope you'll feel the love that I pour into my work. Enjoy browsing through my gallery, and please reach out if something resonates with you!
Welcome to my gallery! For available originals, size and price are listed. Giclee* prints can be ordered for most images in 5x7, 8x11, 11x15, and larger, whether or not the original painting is sold. Please contact me via email for more information such as print pricing and to purchase art. *Giclee: very high quality fine art print.
Images shown are digital reproductions of original work. Some color variations between originals and reproductions are inevitable as it's not possible to create an exact duplicate of an original painting. Every effort is made to edit images to create a reproduction that is close to the original color and tone. Originals have a much higher value because they are truly one of a kind. If you purchase an original painting or print without viewing it in person beforehand, please expect some variation in appearance, not only because images shown are reproductions, but also because images look different from one screen to another.
