Kim Walker, Founder/Artist:

Heirloom Tileworks is a design studio known for a unique collection of high relief art tiles, located on the rocky coastline of Maine. The scenic charm, wildlife and conifer forests have been a great inspiration in developing the tile themes. The present line has been created through personal inspirations and greatly enhanced with commissions from local clients sharing the same inspiration and appreciation for Maine's natural beauty.

Today our technical age is seeing a resurgence of the Arts and Crafts Movement similar to the Great Arts and Crafts Movement of the Industrial Age (early 1900). People are once again seeking out the special characteristics that the artist's touch can bring to one's environment. Heirloom Tileworks applies these traditions to the art of tile making and spatial design.

Northern Tides offers a selection of Kim Walker's tiles ready to be hung on a wall, stood up as art on a stand, or to be applied in a room tiling application. Each of Kim's tile molds are beautifully hand carved, creating a high relief tile. She offers over 200 designs, over 30 glazes, and accepts custom-orders for room applications. Call Northern Tides for additional designs, sizes and prices.
