Woodland Hills, CA artist Kimberly Daniel is best known for her watercolor paintings, which capture the beauty of the sea she loves and reflect her passion for scuba diving. Today, she creates computer designs as well as fine art pencil portraits of infants, children and pets – all as part of her devotion to beautiful surroundings.

A Nashville native, Ms. Daniel earned her BFA at Auburn University before moving to Atlanta to become one of the first graphic designers for a fledgling cable station called CNN2. As the station grew to become the world-famous CNN Headline News, Ms. Daniel helped keep its on-air graphics on the cutting edge of broadcasting.

After 16 years at CNN, Ms. Daniel moved with her family to the Los Angeles area in 1999 to work for an Internet start-up called Homestore.com (now Move.com). In two years as a network graphic designer, she worked closely with multiple departments to create the company's online presence, from information architecture and user interface design to the overall look and feel. She left the company in 2001 after a corporate restructuring and now runs her own business creating computer graphics and selling fine art portraits and landscapes.

In addition to her artwork, Ms. Daniel serves on the beautification committee of her child’s elementary school, and volunteers for community and environmental projects including Habitat for Humanity, Heal the Bay and the Humane Society – all part of her mission to reflect and maintain the world’s beauty.
