Kimberly Rentler Hempfield, Pa
After toiling for over thirty years in a corporate environment, Kimberly ditched her suits and heels in exchange for a Nikon, thus embarking on a new journey and opening her own business in 2014. Blurt Digital & Design specializes in photography, design and digital archiving. Concentrating on her lifelong love and study of photography, in conjunction with commercial shooting, Kim continuously hones her craft, focusing mostly on minimalism, as well as travel and street scenes. Studying drawing at a young age has resulted in recent experimentation in using the camera as an instrument, while adjusting shutter speed and incorporating intentional movement, in order to create more abstract images. The result is the viewer questioning what they are actually seeing and what they should be seeing.
Kimberly is also co-owner of DV8 Espresso Bar and Gallery
