About K.K. DePaul

K.K. DePaul is an explorer of secrets, combining and recombining bits and pieces of
memory to make sense of her family stories.

“I have always been fascinated by multiple interpretations, double exposures, and the ambiguities that arise depending on which character is telling the story. My process begins with a collection of elements…images…writing. As I move the elements around,a visual narrative begins to take shape, signaling a new understanding of parallel stories. My use of collage indicates a story told in two voices, representing identities that have been torn apart, stripped, reflected upon, and ultimately reconstructed.”

Artist, Photographer, Educator, and Gallery Director, K.K DePaul brings a multi-faceted
background to her extensive career in the arts.

Kim’s award-winning work as a textile artist and photographer has received national and
international attention, and has been included in the corporate collections of:
Smith-Kline, The Mayo Clinic, and Capital Blue Cross, and the private collections of
photographers: Charlotte Niel, Christopher James, Sophie Zenon, and Sarah Moon.

Her work has been published in Black&White Magazine, EyeMazing, Diffusion, and
PhotoWorld (China). Most recently, she has been the recipient of the
10th Julia Margaret Cameron Award, with two exhibitions in Barcelona, and she was part of the exhibition, Tribe, at the Fox Talbot Museum in the UK and at the Center for
Photographic Art in Carmel CA.

How the Rfotofolio Call works.

Everyone sees art differently and with that in mind each year we ask our guest juror to select the work that speaks to them. The more people that see your work the better. In addition Rfotofolio is also a juror.

Artists whose work are selected will be featured on our site, in future interviews, and future publications.  They will also be included in The Photographers Index. .

Many of the photographers that we have met over the years, come to our attention via the Rfotofolio Call.
