About Kim Belverud

Kim has a passion for national and state parks and photographs them whenever she gets the opportunity. She is drawn to the drama and contrast that stormy skies create over landscapes and has some stunning stormy images in her collection.

Artist Statement

I’ve called San Diego my home since 2011, after living on the east coast for the majority of my life. Coming from the east coast, one thing I quickly learned to appreciate about San Diego is its year-round beautiful weather and terrain. These factors, combined with my strong connection with nature, have fueled my joy to shoot landscapes to capture nature’s beauty in images. I feel grateful that there are so many opportunities to photograph landscapes in San Diego, but I also love to travel and my favorite places to visit are National and State Parks. My favorite type of landscapes always include dramatic skies. I love the texture and contrast of clouds and the way the light and color reflect upon them. 

I started shooting in film when I was a child and continued through classes in high school and college. I transitioned to digital in 2009. Since then, I have been shooting macro nature images and landscapes. In 2017, I began my career in family photography, and while I have won awards and been published for my professional work, I continue to be passionate about capturing nature as a way to show my gratitude and respect for it.

For those who view my work, the underlying message I hope to convey is appreciation in the beauty of everyday moments in nature. I incorporate color and contrast in my work which I feel is a metaphor for life. There are areas of light and dark, and those of light can only be truly appreciated by the contrast of the dark.

Testimonials

I purchased a couple pieces of landscape art from MK Envision and was impressed with the selection, the staff, and their customer service. Highly recommend."

"This was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Kelsey & Michelle helped us to select the best photo from several choices, and then they created a mock up of our photo on our unusually shaped wall area. We were really pleased with the result and have had lots of complements on it."

I had been searching for almost two years for wall art to hang above my sofa, and one day, I googled modern coastal wall art and a couple of clicks in, found MK Envision Galleries! I had been waiting to find the perfect piece, and I did. I saw "Shore Break At Sunrise" and it immediately spoke to me, so I knew almost instantly that I would be buying it. I was certain it would be as beautiful in person as it looked online (and it is) but had a couple of questions before committing to the purchase. Response time was quick, communication was informative, fun and professional...Start to finish, just an awesomely great experience!
