bouncing like the fresh water of a brook, which shouldn't surprise you as we are in Brooksville, California. By the way, it is from a book that Kim derived her passion. She once read Katherine Dewey's sculpting book and the spell was upon her, she was hooked forever after!

So you can easily understand why she never needed to have formal training as a sculptor, the magic pours naturally from her fingertips as easily as it would from a fairy's.

The artistic fervor Kim Fillio has inside her transmits the innocence of childhood through her art, or should I say her 'heART'?

Also, if there is always a villain in fairy tales then there is also love and hope. And there is ALWAYS a happy ending.

Kim recently was diagnosed with cancer; but she is already triumphing over it with her serene smile and the stars twinkling deep in her eyes.
