Kim Eubank

Kim Eubank graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, with a BFA in jewelry and glass in 1996. From 1996 to 1998, she made and sold silver-smithed, semi-precious stone jewelry at art fairs on the East Coast. An avid reader of Southern literature, the family quilts at the heart of Alice Walker’s short story, “Everyday Use,” inspired Eubank to create The Metal Quilt in 1998, a series works using scraps of metal,  adding luminous, translucent color by kiln-firing a thin layer of vitreous, powdered glass enamel onto copper. She built a business around The Metal Quilt until she retired the business in 2010 to pursue a solo studio practice. From 2010 to 2015, Eubank experimented with numerous subjects and mediums, including painting, printmaking, encaustics, cold wax mediums, oils, and metal sculpture. Since 2015, Eubank has been making figurative mixed media works with a mid-century Pop Art aesthetic in her studio in Madrid, NM.
