Kimberly Conrad
Curator
Kimberly is an artist, teacher, writer, and Certified Master Life Coach, who has been guiding creatives and midlife women in business, mindset and self-discovery since 2005.
After operating her own gallery in Denver, Colorado, for 12 years, in September of 2025, she closed the doors and reimagined her creative world, rebranding to the name The Splendid Life Studio; a soulful hub where art, coaching and personal growth beautifully intertwine.
Through her transformative coaching programs, online courses and painting workshops, she empowers women to rekindle their creative spark, embrace self-love, and live with greater joy, power and authenticity.
Her signature style, both in art and life, blends beauty, depth and spirituality. Her motto for life is “Make Everything Beautiful”.
A mother to four grown sons (and spouses) and Grammy to five precious souls, she resides in Colorado with her husband of 39 years and three furry babies. She paints a variety of subjects, but is most known for large abstract seascapes, and visits the ocean as often as possible for inspiration and renewal. Her non-negotiables are hats, books, coffee, and travel!
