Kim McCarthy is a young Astoria artist. It is nearly impossible to pin her
down on artistic style because she seems willing to try everything. These are
stencils she cut out and spray painted for a book by another artist on how to make
stencils.
(Friends gave her a piñata because they claimed its happy red-lipped face
and curly black hair resembled her. So she painted the rest of it to look like her —
it hangs from the ceiling of Godfather’s Books & Espresso, where she works a few
days each week. Its name is “Kimyata.”)
She is the mother of two very intelligent and individualistic children, a son
Tristan, who is 10, and 4 year old Minuet, who is herself a consummate artist.
Her website is KMCCARTHYS67S@HOTMAIL.COM.
