Kimber’s love affair with art started at a young age and was encouraged by her family. Both her parents are artists. Her father works in the advertising business as a 2nd generation printer and a graphics artist. Her mother is a painter. Her grandmother – also an artist – was a major influence in her life, taking her to museums and art exhibits at every opportunity around the country and teaching . Currently, Mrs. Bosse is a “non-traditional” student at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Her major is art studio with an emphasis in sculpture and metals.
She is a native of Odessa, Texas and now lives in Denison with her husband of sixteen years, Dean, and her two children. “I love the art community here, they are supportive and honest. All of them have helped me to refine, and even recreate, my work.”
