Kim Winberry | WaterPlusInk Studios

Ocean-leaning wildlife art and children's books with heart - Original Watercolor and India Ink, rooted in conservation and empathy

Kim Winberry is the founder and artist behind Water Plus Ink Studios on California’s Central Coast, creating original watercolor and India ink wildlife art rooted in conservation and empathy. She’s also the author of story-driven children’s books like Creepy Frank & Friends and Dr. Brinesprocket, built to help kids feel brave, seen, and a little delightfully weird. When she’s not painting or writing, she’s building an ocean-inspired world of prints, gifts, and games—because “normal” is overrated.
