Kimble, a 2002 Syracuse University George Arents Pioneer Medal for excellence in the field of art award recipient, is one of America’s most popular folk artists. He is a leader of today’s Americana style of painting, with its roots in primitive folk art. Kimble’s success can be found in simple and honest themes that resonate with today’s collectors and people interested in home décor with an American country theme. His paintings of rural Vermont scenes and unique animals have become familiar around the world. Â
After graduating in 1957 with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, Kimble worked in advertising, but was drawn into the field of education, first as a public school arts teacher and later as a professor of art at Castleton State College in Vermont. Though teaching was his vocation, he pursued his avocations of painting in the American folk art style and collecting antiques.  Â
