In 2008, Kami started and founded the St Croix River School of Painting in Stillwater, Minnesota, where she teaches the fundamentals of representational painting with a special emphasis on color. In January of 2014 she purchased a 16 acre farm just north of Stillwater, where she converted a 100-year- old hip roof barn into her studio and the St Croix River School of Painting's new location. The property is a landscape painters dream with endless inspiration for painting. Kami has won multiple awards for her work and is in high demand as an instructor and lecturer.
