ABOUT
KIM LAWSON
Welcome! I am so glad you are here.
I am an artist, photographer, and adventurer based in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California just outside Yosemite National Park. I am drawn to light, movement, and storytelling capturing life through my lens, paintbrush, and pen.
My photography work has been featured by Visit California, Brand USA, Sunset Magazine, Visit Yosemite | Madera County, the Yosemite/Mariposa County Tourism Bureau, Tahiti Tourisme, US News & World Report and AFAR.
I am currently creating a snail mail club centered around art, connection, and the simple joy of receiving something in the mail. The idea began one day as I stood at my mailbox after receiving a handwritten letter from my mother. We have always loved exchanging notes, and I was reminded how special it feels to hold something tangible in your hands. In that moment, I wondered if I could share that feeling with others.
When you join, you will receive a handwritten letter from me each month, along with a piece of my art and a few surprise extras.
This space is a collection of my photography, creative work, and glimpses into my life. I am so glad you are here and a part of the journey.
