Mimi Kirk is a San Diego-based artist who draws on her extensive travels and vast life experience to create art that exudes unrestrained joy and boundless energy. In 1968, as a widowed mother of 4, Kirk parlayed her natural creativity and need to provide for her family into a myriad of successful careers including a Mary Tyler Moore Show stand-in, personal and professional stylist to Valerie Harper, author, vegan chef, board game creator, and entrepreneur. As a coveted speaker and talk show guest, Kirk has always used her platform to encourage and empower others to be their most authentic selves. This philosophy informs her work as she shares beauty, happiness, and her own special joie de vivre through art.
