About Kimberly Poppe—Fine Art Photographer, Curator & Designer

Kimberly Poppe

Born in Boston and now based in Sitges, an artistic seaside town near Barcelona, Kimberly Poppe is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and designer. Her own practice centres on fine art photography. She is also creative director of her own design studio and works on large-scale interior projects that bring together art and design as a single cohesive vision. She loves good art in all its forms and champions fellow artists whose work she believes in. Trained in interior architecture and design at the renowned Parsons School of Design in New York, she has also studied art curation at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London.

In her free time, Kimberly can be found performing live improvisational comedy at the Barcelona Improv Group or hanging out with her Italian husband and their two endlessly entertaining cats, Milo + Zoe.
