Kim Witte Artistry
Madison, Wi
Have you ever wanted to transform yourself into a mythical creature? For Kim Witte, her special effects makeup allows her to turn into any kind of whimsical, fantasy or even creepy monster. Pretty cool, right? We think so.
Kim’s talents are like no other and we can’t wait to welcome her back to DEVIATE where she plans to transform herself yet again. What will she do this time?? You’ll just have to wait and see on September 28!
Tell us about you. I am a whimsical fantasy artist, with an eye for detail and an interest in illusionary work, who specializes in painting both on skin and wooden panels. My work melds reality with fiction creating complex illusionary work often involving themes of food and nature. I adore animals and monsters which tend to be a consistent theme in my work.
What inspires your art? Food, nature, and a good monster movie heavily influence my art! I love creating whimsical or spooky creatures either of my own mind or from films.
Knowing DEVIATE is an experiential, interactive art event, how do you envision participating and building your booth? I would love to do a live makeup demonstration transforming into a character. Or show up in a fully created costume & sfx makeup and be an interactive character within my booth.
How did you find out about DEIVATE and why do you want to be involved? I participated in Deviate 2023 and had an absolute blast!! I have a bunch of new punk & sfx art I know would vibe hard with this audience. Plus, I love being a performer so being in costume will be fun! My gremlin last year was received well in my opinion.
