Kim Werfel, Pastel Artist
Kim Werfel is an artist and teacher who creates pastel portraits of people and animals that convey a sensitivity to her subject’s personalities as well as capturing their likeness.

You can find her work with the Pastel Society of North Carolina’s exhibits, the Fine Art League of Cary’s exhibits and in Pittsboro’s downtown Chatham Arts Gallery.
Kim has her B.F.A. degree in Advertising Design from New York Institute of Technology, Old Westbury, NY and her M.S. in Art Education from L.I. University, C.W. Post Campus, Brookville, NY.
