As the redheaded child of exhausted parents, Kim grew up enjoying the role of the middle child. Allowed to roam free in the heart of Amish Country, her imagination was ripened by a life lived outdoors. She wrote and performed plays and pageants for her family, did impersonations and comedy bits for visiting guests, and frazzled her teachers with grandiose stories of her daily adventures which included, talking animals and impossible inventions.
Kim survived numerous attempts, by adults, to cut and curb her rambunctious behavior and prolific imagination. Lucky us, because now, we get to enjoy the wildflower heart and wonder of that little girl projected through a mature and seasoned artist. Kim's stories and songs are the life fruit of growing up free range. In her work as a humorist, storyteller, singer and songwriter, she has taken home an armload of awards. She also worked on and created successful peace projects including the Peace by Piece Project which was collaboration with the Taubman Museum of Fine Arts. She is the founder of The Wrinkles Project and has a book in the Back to the Front Porch Series. She currently has 5 audio collections, the latest one, Head Bone Rattles, a much anticipated collection of original ghost stories and songs. Her material has been played on NPR affiliate stations as well as Sirius Radio. Kim travels the continent full time performing in theaters and at festivals. She has made numerous television appearances, hosted a successful morning show, and has keynoted for some of Forbes most recognized companies. Learn more about Kim at www.kimweitkamp.com |
