“I want you to understand who I am. I want you to understand why I am here. I want you to understand what I’m doing. I want you to understand why it matters.”
Kimball Artistry Is a Mission
Kimball Artistry is first and foremost a mission — a mission to heal, to create, and to educate. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has yet to enter the conversation about Mental Health seriously, and I wish to change that sad fact. As such, the writing, art, and blog on this website are devoted to messages that enhance and strengthen this mission.

Art Heals
When one of my therapists suggested that I use art to benefit my brain health, I knew very little about the science behind his suggestion; yet, the more I researched, the more I discovered the power of creative pursuits to heal or temper various neurological dysfunctions. As you will see, many of my subjects are people to whom mental illness functioned as a key theme of either their life or their art.
