Portrait Illustrations by Kim Scoulios

I was born in San Antonio, raised in Houston, and now live in a small town outside of Austin with my family. I studied Art and Digital Art from Junior High to College. My main focus was spent at Texas State University with an emphasis on Art History and Illustration.

I specialize in stylized portraits.

Faces intrigue me. They are the imprint of life's road maps engraved into personal expression. When I work with Acrylic Paint, I seek to capture a person's personality by enhancing their features with intense lines and bold colors.

Some of my favorite artists include JW Waterhouse, HR Giger, Tamara de Lempicka, Jackson Pollock, and Edward Hopper. Their techniques inspired me to examine contrast and detail in everything I that I see.
